The question before the profession is not whether artificial intelligence affects legal practice. It is on what terms and how it may be used ethically. See the poster for full details.

“As a lawyer, you will always be your client’s reference point.” @joel_tusiime on ten weeks with the Firm.

Ten weeks ago, five Bar Course students from the @LDC_Uganda joined the Firm; @joel_tusiime , @NobertNuwe1 , @ankundaanthea1 , Calvin D. Mukiibi and Rwothomio M. Okecha. We asked them what they are taking with them. In their own words: handgadvocates.com/insights/… Thread: 1/6.

Our Tax Practice is at the @ug_lawsociety Tax Law Symposium 2026. Mr Deus Mugabe (@DeusEsq ) speaks on the Transfer Pricing & International Tax panel, and Ms @FRamadanNabulya moderates the session on Tax Payer Rights: Recent Procedural Safeguards.

Members of our TMT Practice, @JoelBasoga and @lilian_arinda were pleased to moderate a high level policy discussion on the regulation of Al and ADR in the advent of technology at the recently concluded @ug_lawsociety Tech Fest.

Tax Alert: The @TaxAppealug has, in Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa v @URAuganda , clarified that the statutory 30% deposit of disputed tax is only payable upon filing a substantive application and need not be paid as a lump sum. Taxpayers may therefore satisfy the requirement through instalments, subject to URA’s approval, with the Tribunal empowered to review an unreasonable denial by URA. Congratulations to @DeusEsq and @FRamadanNabulya for successfully advancing this position before the Tribunal. Read the Alert at the link below: handgadvocates.com/insights/…
