Uganda stands at a defining moment.

First oil is within sight. New investments are reshaping the country's energy landscape. The decisions we make today will determine not only how much wealth we create, but whether that wealth translates into stronger institutions, better opportunities and lasting prosperity.

How prepared are we for this moment?

Are Ugandan businesses ready to participate meaningfully in the opportunities emerging from oil, gas and energy? Is our legal and regulatory framework fit for purpose? What lessons have we learned from the journey so far? What opportunities exist for lawyers, entrepreneurs, investors and young professionals? And what role must our institutions play if Uganda is to realise the full promise of its natural resources?

These questions demand more than commentary. They demand experience.

This Tuesday, we are joined by Innocent Kihika, Senior Partner at @SM_Co_Advocates one of Uganda's leading law firms and a member of the Board of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda. Few lawyers have enjoyed a closer view of the intersection between law, energy, investment and national development.

Our conversation will range from oil and gas to the wider energy sector, from local content and investment to the future of legal practice. We shall also discuss an issue of growing concern to the business community: the impact of judicial backlog and dispute resolution on investment, infrastructure development and economic growth.

If energy is the fuel of development, law is the framework that determines whether that fuel ignites prosperity.

Please note that JSC Conversations will exceptionally be held on Tuesday this week, rather than our usual Wednesday slot, in observance of Martyrs' Day.

Join us for what promises to be a timely and important conversation.

@InstituteGC Blair says net zero targets are unnecesarry

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

Keir Starmer should rip up Ed Miliband’s “unnecessary” net zero agenda, Tony Blair tells #TimesRadio.

I knew he would! My bro @JGkibande delivered a masterclass on construction law. But importantly, you can bet on his gifted ability to connect the dots in such a simple way and take a long term view to life! Well done to you both, @JGkibande & @elisonk s/o 2 @JSConversations team

Was delighted to spend time with Michael Sullivan, KC & his wife Hannah Brown, KC. A very respected KC, Michael worked alongside KAA on complex litigation & arbitration, includng successful representation of President M7 in London & success in the usd260M Blueline case for Eadb.

[KAA (Kampala Associated Advocates) @KAAdvocates]

UGANDA M&A TAX ALERT: 50%+ change in company ownership can trigger a tax charge on the target company itself even where the seller receives the proceeds.

This risk is not limited to property-rich companies and can arise across a wide range of sectors and transaction structures.

Both buyers and sellers should carefully assess the potential exposure early in the deal process, including the impact on pricing, transaction timing, tax allocation mechanisms, warranties, and indemnities.

Early tax due diligence and clear contractual protections can help avoid unexpected liabilities after completion.

Case backlog remains a challenge in the justice system, with some cases taking decades to conclude. One example given was a case that started in 2001 and only received a final decision at the end of last year.
