The Public and General Law Department at KBW Advocates stands at the intersection of citizen rights, state authority, and the public good. We are committed to promoting transparency, accountability, and lawful governance through strategic legal representation in matters of administrative, constitutional, and public interest law.
Public law governs the relationship between individuals and the state. It involves challenging decisions made by public bodies, defending human rights, and ensuring that state actions comply with legal standards. Our firm is renowned for its ability to hold government agencies and institutions accountable to the law, ensuring our clients are treated fairly and their rights are protected.
One of our core services in this department is judicial review. We assist clients in challenging unlawful or unreasonable administrative decisions by state organs, regulatory bodies, and other public institutions. Whether it’s an unfair procurement process, abuse of discretionary power, or breach of constitutional duty, we offer powerful advocacy grounded in meticulous legal reasoning and procedural accuracy.
Our team has represented clients in landmark constitutional petitions that have shaped public discourse and legal precedent in Uganda. These include matters related to electoral law, the right to information, the legality of executive orders, and the protection of minority rights. We also support civic organizations and advocacy groups in advancing public interest litigation that promotes systemic reform and social justice.
In addition to courtroom litigation, we advise clients on compliance with statutory obligations, interpretation of public law frameworks, and the negotiation of public-private partnerships. Our work extends to representing civil servants, local governments, and international organizations in legal matters that affect governance and institutional integrity.
What sets KBW Advocates apart is our commitment to balancing legal expertise with ethical integrity. We do not shy away from difficult cases, especially those that question the status quo or seek to improve the lives of underserved communities. Our role in public law is not just legal—it is civic.
In a democracy, the rule of law must be more than a principle—it must be a practice. At KBW Advocates, we uphold that practice through fearless advocacy, rigorous legal analysis, and a deep belief in justice as a public good.
Whether you are a whistleblower, a government employee, or a concerned citizen, our Public and General Law Department is ready to protect your rights, amplify your voice, and pursue the justice you deserve.
