Dispute Resolution

Scope of Practice

Not every commercial dispute requires litigation or formal arbitration. We advise clients on the full range of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms available under Ugandan law, including mediation, negotiation, and structured settlement.

The firm's approach begins with a careful assessment of the dispute, the parties' commercial relationship, and the most efficient path to resolution. Where preserving business relationships is a priority, structured negotiation or mediation is often the preferred course. The firm has experience acting as counsel in mediation proceedings and advising on the design of dispute resolution clauses for commercial agreements.
