Free legal help · Uganda

The law should be accessible to all.

Most people facing a legal problem in Uganda have never heard of ULII, cannot read a statute, and have no idea which law firm to call. So we built something they already know how to use. A phone call.

Call Law Guide
0800 220 613

Ask your question in plain language. You will get an answer drawn from real Ugandan law — not guesswork — and if your situation needs a lawyer, we will connect you with one.

How a call works

From a question to a lawyer, in one call.

01
You call and ask

Describe the problem however you would describe it to a friend. No legal words needed.

02
We look it up

Your question is matched against a library of Ugandan judgments, legislation, gazettes and hansard entered by practising lawyers.

03
We explain, and stop

You get the general position in plain language. When your situation needs advice specific to you, we say so rather than guess.

04
We refer you

Your case is recorded and passed to a law firm that handles your kind of matter, in your area.

What to expect

Straight answers, and an honest limit.

What Law Guide can tell you
  • What the law of Uganda actually says on a subject.
  • Which Act, judgment or regulation the answer comes from.
  • What the general position is for a situation like yours.
  • Which law firm handles your kind of problem, and where.
What it will not do
  • Tell you what to do in your own case. That is a lawyer’s job.
  • Predict how a court will decide.
  • Answer from outside its library. If we do not hold vetted material on your topic, we will say so rather than invent one.
  • Replace representation. It is a first step, not a substitute.
Read the law yourself

Everything Law Guide answers from is public. Browse the judgments, legislation, gazettes and hansard in the library, each linked back to its original source.

For law firms

Callers who need representation are referred to firms in our network, matched by practice area and district. Firms join by agreement — we never list a firm that has not confirmed it wants the referrals.
