Technology
The Blockchain is a technological marvel where the possibilities are infinite. There have been few technologies that have garnered as much excitement and confidence as the distributed ledger. Its’ potential applications are innumerable in an interconnected world. In blockchain, we have a solution to the problem of trust and to the costs of the intermediary. This is truly a watershed moment. The eyes of the world are transfixed, keenly watching this technological revolution unfold.
Our Firm makes a conscious effort to remain on the cutting edge of technology. It is therefore no surprise that we were one of the first legal industry players to acknowledge and embrace the technological revolution ushered in by the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain. Taking into account the unique and avant-garde demands of this industry, we have an entire department devoted to serve the needs of our clients in this sector, or those that are curious about it.
Our team is well represented in Ugandan, East African and African Fintech, AI and Blockchain spaces so that our clients are, through us, at the forefront of this nascent technological revolution.

- The policy considerations and practical issues to be faced in passing a given law, rule, regulation and/or guideline.
- The Legal and Regulatory requirements to meet before joining the industry and later as a player in the sector.
