@JoelBasoga, Head of our TMT Practice, joins the panel at the @ug_lawsociety Young Lawyers Symposium 2026 on what artificial intelligence means for the practice of law. 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.

So the reason so many people were getting married in August was, all along, to prepare for the rains of September?

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.
