As Uganda’s economy continues to grow and diversify, businesses require more than just legal representation—they need legal strategy. At KBW Advocates, our Corporate and Commercial Affairs Department delivers both. We partner with entrepreneurs, investors, and institutions to ensure they can operate, expand, and innovate without legal uncertainty holding them back.
Our services begin with the foundational aspects of business—company registration, shareholder agreements, board governance, and compliance with the Companies Act. But they extend far beyond the basics. We help companies raise capital through equity or debt, enter joint ventures, and navigate mergers, acquisitions, and takeovers. Our lawyers are experts in corporate restructuring, regulatory filings, licensing, and contract negotiation.
In today’s business world, speed is critical. So is accuracy. Our team is structured to move fast without compromising thoroughness. From startup legal kits to complex cross-border commercial transactions, we deliver scalable legal solutions tailored to each client’s needs.
We also offer robust legal support for sectors including telecommunications, financial services, agriculture, manufacturing, and real estate. Whether we are drafting terms for a software license agreement or helping a logistics company secure operational licenses, our industry insight ensures both legal and business success.
Dispute resolution is an important part of our practice. Commercial disputes can cripple a business if not addressed quickly and effectively. We provide strategic litigation services when necessary, but we also emphasize early dispute resolution through mediation and arbitration. This helps our clients avoid costly delays and reputational damage.
Intellectual property is another critical area for modern businesses. We help clients secure trademarks, copyrights, and patents, and we enforce these rights against infringement. In the digital economy, intangible assets often outweigh physical ones—and protecting them is essential.
Perhaps most importantly, we act as long-term partners. Many of our commercial clients have been with us for years, growing from small enterprises into market leaders. Our commitment to ethical counsel, responsiveness, and practical problem-solving has built lasting trust.
At KBW Advocates, we believe the law should not just protect business—it should enable it. Let us help you navigate Uganda’s legal and regulatory landscape with confidence, clarity, and success.
