UgandaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated legal associate with a strong commitment to advocating for marginalized communities, particularly in matters related to land rights and environmental justice. My experience includes representing clients in court, drafting legal documents, and collaborating with grassroots activists to address critical issues affecting vulnerable populations. I believe in the power of legal support to empower communities and protect their rights.
With a postgraduate diploma in legal practice from the Law Development Centre and a Bachelor's degree in Laws from Makerere University, I have honed my skills in legal research, contract negotiation, and litigation. My internships at the Ministry of Justice and various law firms have provided me with valuable insights into the legal system, enhancing my ability to analyze complex legal issues and provide sound legal counsel. I am passionate about translating my theoretical knowledge into practical actions that drive positive change.
