Who We Are

A Specialised Corporate & Commercial Practice

Jamani Advocates is a specialised corporate and commercial practice law firm based in Kampala, Uganda. The firm has established itself as a leading provider of commercial legal services in Uganda and is now expanding its services to Kenya and Rwanda.

The firm is strategically located in Ntinda, adjacent to the central business district, making it convenient for our clients to access our services. Our team comprises practicing attorneys, legal associates and a robust paralegal team.

We are committed to providing our clients with the most up-to-date legal services with the highest ethical standards. To this end, we have established a think-tank — The Jamani-Law Institute — to collate information and data from stakeholders in the business and legal sectors, enabling us to adjust, focus, and deploy resources based on the most viable practice areas.
