Firm overview

Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, is one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa. Its growth at an average of 6.5% per year and recent oil and gas discoveries position Uganda as one of the most exciting regions for investment.

The firm is well known for its experienced corporate and finance and  gifted and technically sound litigation teams with an unmatched understanding of the regulatory frameworks of the industries in which we practice.
