Some of the Common Legal Issues Our Ugandan Attorneys Handle
BNM Advocates has a team of three lawyers headed by a Managing Partner and support staff. Our team aims to safeguard the legality of commercial and corporate transactions. Our law firm helps its clients meet their goals by offering commercial experience and acuity.
The lawyers provide advice on matters such as the formation of shareholding structuring, labor and employment structuring, financial advisory, and mergers. Here are some of the legal issues that the law firm handles.
Disagreements Between Shareholders
You may start your company along with shareholders in good faith and end up having disagreements in the long run. This, for instance, could be as a result of a shareholder who may prefer a different path for the company or may be intending to quit.
Due to this, you should not start working together without a shareholder’s agreement. This is an agreement that summarizes the rights as well as the responsibilities of each shareholder. It also outlines how the company is going to be run, among others.
But in case you find yourself in disagreements with shareholders, you most certainly will be required to hire an attorney. BNM Advocates are well qualified to help you with such matters.
Breaching Trade Information and Intellectual Property
Whatever type of business you are running, be it a health clinic or a web development company, your business has its own unique identity that distinguishes it from other public businesses.
Intellectual property elements such as logos, slogans, and the company’s name need to be protected. If they are not protected, any other organization may re-use them or claim them as their own without any legal repercussions.
Such cases take years to be resolved in a court of law, and without proper representation, you may end up losing your rights. To avoid this, hiring us to help you secure your company’s unique identities may be the wisest thing to do.
Legal Issues with Employees Including Human Rights
Employees are a significant strength to any company, but they may at times be a liability to the company if they are not managed accordingly. Setting rules that meet both the rights and responsibilities of the employees and that of the company may help enhance collaboration in your company.
However, this may not work in some other cases, so having an attorney from BNM Advocates may be wise as we will represent your company during such incidents with the employees.
Improperly Drafted Contracts
Most companies face legal consequences due to improperly drafted contracts. Such contracts may be drafted between a business and its partners or between clients and the business. Whichever it is, making sure you have legal professionals from BNM Advocates will help you revise such contracts before they are signed. This will, in turn, help you avoid such incidents from happening.
