The firm is structured as a general practice firm providing an array of legal services in a variety of legal practice areas. While we encourage our lawyers to specialize we also train them to ensure that they are flexible enough to undertake new and challenging work that may not have been their primary area of specialization. Our practice is divided into two major areas; litigation and dispute resolution and solicitor and transactional work SOLICITOR AND TRANSACTIONAL WORK The firm has maintained a significant and pioneering presence in all areas of general and specialized transactional practice. Most of the more challenging legal problems and assignments in Uganda have been handled by the firm and many of our lawyers, have behind them a wealth of experience and back grounds that have collectively enabled our firm to pool its resources and consistently give comprehensive advice even in the most unusual circumstances.
LITIGATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION We have built an impeccable track record in litigation and this firm has been in several ground breaking, law making and land mark litigation cases that have shaped the law of Uganda and many of which are compulsory reading at all East African law schools. Our firm's reputation in this field is such that clients with major litigation matters who may routinely use other firms turn to this firm whenever the stakes are really high or where the work requires original and usually complex in put. We also do a lot of pro bono work for various local NGOs, Human rights organizations and Uganda law society. At Katende Ssempebwa and company we believe in alternative resolution of disputes, and regard Courts as a remedy of last resort. We have therefore been involved in substantial amount of arbitration, mediation and negotiation proceedings and we have secured countless out of court settlements on behalf of our clients. These settlements have saved our client's time, expense and other constraints of unnecessary litigation. |
