Our History
We are an evolving firm, constantly inventing ourselves to better serve our clients’ needs.
Our first decade has been marked by a steady growth since the firm started on 3rd September, 2010. The firm has grown in response to the increasing volume of our clients and the complexity of their matters. Remaining committed to providing excellent services in all our work, we have opened offices in Fort Portal (2017), Mbarara (2018) and Masindi (2020) that have afforded us the opportunity to retain our staff in locations more convenient to our clients.
The volume of work we are handling has fueled exponential growth in the number of our staff to over 25. That growth has also included a significant expansion of practices we offer to our clients including Business & Commercial Practice, Energy, Mining & Infrastructure, Employment, Immigration & Social Security, Corporate Compliance, Real Estate, Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution among others. These practice areas are aligned to departments in the firm.
Our core values of teamwork, integrity and innovation reflect the ideals of our history and we remain committed to providing excellent services to all our clients.
