Excellence in Legal Practice Across Uganda and East Africa

Arcadia Advocates is a partnership of distinguished lawyers committed to delivering legal services of the highest standard. Supported by a team of accomplished legal associates, we advise clients across Uganda and the wider East African region. Our client base is diverse, spanning private individuals, multinational and local enterprises, non-governmental organisations, and government institutions.

We bring sector-specific insight and practical experience to every matter, ensuring that our advice is not only legally sound but also commercially astute. Our approach is anchored in precision, responsiveness, and an unwavering commitment to advancing our clients’ objectives.


The Arcadia Journey

Arcadia Advocates was established in November 2014 by its Partners, Mr. Sylvester Henry Wambuga, Mr. Isaac Bakayana, Mr. Robert Bautu, and Mr. Paul Kuteesa. From the outset, they shared a vision to redefine the standard of legal service in the region. They recognised that businesses seek lawyers who can deliver results swiftly, communicate with clarity, and complete transactions seamlessly.

Arcadia was created to meet this demand. From our first day, we have positioned ourselves as more than legal advisors. We are strategic partners to our clients, ensuring that matters are resolved efficiently, outcomes are certain, and the business of law never becomes an obstacle to growth. This ethos — more than legal business — continues to guide us in everything we do.

Our Core Values

Our clients are at the centre of our practice. We invest time to understand their goals and priorities, ensuring that our advice is aligned with their intended outcomes. Every action we take is designed to advance their interests with clarity and precision.

Excellence is not a milestone but a continuous pursuit. We measure ourselves by our ability to improve, learn, and exceed expectations. Our clients can expect advice and service that reflect not only technical mastery but also a relentless drive to be better every day.

Integrity defines our practice. It is not an aspiration but a standard we live by. We act transparently, uphold the highest ethical principles, and deliver services that inspire trust and confidence.

Our strength lies in collaboration. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our team brings diverse perspectives to every matter. Clients are assured that each instruction is analysed thoroughly and the best possible solution identified.
