Overview

Experience the Excitement of Working at Shonubi, Musoke & Co: A Leading Law Firm in Uganda

With a rapidly expanding investment portfolio that attracted 26.2% of all Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Projects for Africa in 2015 primarily in infrastructure development, oil and gas, telecommunications, financial services, and consumer products, the potential risks and uncertainties inherent in doing business in fast-growing economies such as East Africa cannot be overstated. Legal advisory services then become a vital component of any investment or business undertaking, because they temper market uncertainty; unknot complex domestic regulatory regimes, mitigate the impact of trade disputes, and ultimately increase profitability of the business enterprise.

M/s. Shonubi, Musoke and Co. Advocates is one of the largest law firms in Uganda; and has since its founding in 1987 built a specialized practice with core capabilities in all fields of corporate and commercial law ranging from non-contentious transactional work to highly contentious complex litigation. We have established an impressive East African practice across our offices in Uganda and Burundi, maintaining market dominance in advising on Public Private Partnerships, Mergers and Acquisitions, telecommunications and real estate, intellectual property, labor relations, banking and project finance (including Islamic Banking); as well as energy, mining, and infrastructure development.

Service and reputation in these practice areas have earned the firm a diverse portfolio of clients, including: local and international financial institutions, international development agencies, Multi-National Corporations, Government parastatals, local and regional insurance companies, international airlines, as well as energy and oil companies, among others.

These alliances, enriched by transaction-specific partnerships with law firms in countries as diverse as China, Singapore, United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States of America, have fettled the firm's expertise in tailoring global legal solutions to local issues, continuously earning it recognition as a Top Tier Law Firm by both IFLR1000 and Chambers & Partners.
