This department represents individuals, corporate entities, and public institutions in a wide range of land and property transactions and claims.

KBW Advocates has developed a strong reputation for its work in repossession claims, particularly those concerning properties belonging to members of the Asian community expelled in the early 1970s during the regime of Idi Amin. Many of these properties were unjustly taken over by the government. Our firm has successfully led efforts to reclaim and return numerous properties to their rightful owners, navigating complex legal, historical, and administrative challenges.
In addition to our repossession work, we provide strategic legal guidance on real estate investments, commercial developments, land due diligence, and regulatory compliance with land laws in Uganda. Our team is adept at handling high-value and high-stakes property matters with professionalism and discretion.
