About Twikirize & Co. Advocates
A Kampala-based Ugandan law firm offering reliable, practical legal solutions since 2009.
Sixteen Years of Practical Legal Solutions
Twikirize & Co. Advocates was founded on 11 December 2009 on a simple philosophy: legal advice is only useful if it actually helps a client move forward. That commitment to practical, "make performance happen" counsel has guided the firm from its earliest days as a small legal consultancy through to the medium-sized practice it is today.
The firm is headquartered in Kampala, at Buganda Road Flats, with additional offices in Kabale and Rukungiri, giving clients across central and western Uganda access to the same standard of advice. Our practice has grown to cover twelve distinct areas of law, from arbitration and corporate and commercial services to land conveyancing, litigation, and company secretarial work, with a particular niche in Resettlement Action Planning for public-private-partnership infrastructure projects.
Across every matter we take on, whether for an individual, a growing business, a SACCO, or a development partner, the same approach applies: diagnose the issue properly, give advice our clients can actually act on, and stay accountable for the outcome.
Mission, Vision & Values
Our Mission
