“Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything, for it is the only thing in this world that lasts. It is the only thing worth working for, worth fighting for”
– Margaret Mitchell, Author, Gone with the Wind
Little wonder, it is called real property, implying that all else is not as real/ as tangible as it is.
The importance and value of land as security for homes, for agriculture and food security, as a secure investment, and as a habitat for life and natural resources cannot be overestimated. Therefore the need for excellence in the governance of it (equitable and sustainable administration, survey, subdivisions, amalgamation and conveyancing by sale, purchase and leasing) cannot be underestimated.
Because we recognise this, we ensure that every consultation and land transaction is done diligently and transparently, bearing in mind the legal regime governing land. We are leaders in this area of practice, having advised on several land acquisition projects and real estate projects, and done quite a lot in the land dispute resolution space.
The responsibility of managing environmental risks and liabilities, and giving due attention to environmental regulatory challenges has never been more critical to the success of any business than it is now.
Issues of climate change and sustainability are high on the global agenda. Therefore, there is an increasing need for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to conserving the environment. To that end, regulation of environmental impacts has become increasingly important domestically and internationally thus significantly influencing the operation and sustainability of businesses.
Breaches of environmental laws raise reputational risks for businesses and the possibility of penalties and third-party claims.
The environment and global warming are inseparable. Uganda has developed a policy and recently enacted legislation in regard to climate change. This has been done in keeping with its commitments under the Paris Agreement and similar treaties.
