Our Stories

We have celebrated major milestones from a wide spectrum of services offered to our clients. Here are a few mentions...

Construction Contracts

These can be quite technical involving engaging documentation such as bills of quantities and financial instruments. However our firm has successfully prosecuted claims based on building contracts and on behalf of contractors. These include a building contract case at the commercial court against a prominent oil multi-national and an arbitration against prominent non- government organization over building contracts.

Copyright

We have handled copyright litigation on behalf of our client, an established Architectural firm, against a prominent real estate company. Consequently, we have gained invaluable experience in this novel area here in Uganda. Substantial damages for breach of copyright and passing off were awarded to our client. We have also consulted for and prepared license agreements for clients to preserve original musical compositions and literary works.

Design and Supervision

We enforced a Survey, design and supervision contract on behalf of our client, a prominent firm of architects against a major telecom in Kampala, even if no formal contract was signed between the parties. It involved consultancy, detailed design, remodeling and creating models suitable for the telecom’s new look retail outlets throughout Uganda

Bids and Tenders

Our client successfully sued a state parastatals for illegally cancelling a tender to dispose a vehicle purchased by our client after the fall of the hammer. This was after negotiations failed. In addition to this, we have also advised a number of foreign clients on local compliance requirements necessary for competitive bidding in Uganda.
