We value self-driven and motivated individuals with creative problem-solving skills that enable them to navigate complex legal challenges with passion. Excellent communication skills are critical, as our lawyers will engage with diverse stakeholders, advocate for clients’ rights, and effectively disseminate vital information about legal protections available to marginalized communities. In addition to strong legal knowledge, familiarity with regional and international laws regarding the employment rights of citizens and refugees is crucial. Our lawyers must understand the broader social context influencing human rights in Uganda and East Africa to facilitate informed advocacy on behalf of our clients. A practicing certificate will be considered an added advantage, reinforcing the professional credibility that is indispensable in legal advocacy and representation.
