Reliable Legal Solutions Since 2009
Twikirize & Co. Advocates was founded on 11 December 2009 with a clear philosophy: give clients accurate, practical legal advice that genuinely moves their matter forward, not just correct advice in the abstract.
From a single-office consultancy, the firm has grown into a medium-sized practice serving individuals, businesses, and development partners across Uganda and the region, with offices in Kampala, Kabale, and Rukungiri, and a team built around arbitration, corporate and commercial law, litigation, and land practice.
