UgandaWhat I'm looking for
I am a performance- and results-driven lawyer with over three years of experience across legal practice, corporate and commercial work, compliance, risk management, contract negotiation and litigation.
In my current role as a Legal Assistant at Century Advocates I conduct legal research, draft opinions and pleadings, handle company registrations, attend mediations and court appearances, and support contract negotiations and enforcement actions.
I have advised clients on debt recovery, coordinated major contract and land transactions, and worked with senior partners to secure court awards exceeding UGX 700,000,000 for a client. I also led and contributed to pro-bono legal sensitization initiatives and compliance-awareness sessions.
My background includes a clerkship at MRK Advocates and research work for a community organization, where I produced actionable insights that increased beneficiary employment rates by 30%. I hold a LLB and a Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice (in progress), and I am completing certificates in compliance and risk management.
