M-Smith Advocates is a Kampala based law firm in Uganda founded in 2013 by managing partner Masari Aim Smith. From its offices at Tirupati Mazima Mall in Kabalagala, the firm advises domestic and international clients on both contentious and transactional matters across key sectors of the Ugandan economy.

The team handles complex work in energy, mining and mineral resources, intellectual property, real estate, employment and labor, immigration, insurance, arbitration, and litigation. Matters highlighted on the firm’s platform include advising on petroleum and mining licensing and project documentation, managing intellectual property portfolios with ARIPO registrations and enforcement, and executing end to end conveyancing and land transactions for investors, developers, and property owners.

The firm’s client service model emphasizes practical solutions, disciplined due diligence, and clear communication. Lawyers are available for online and in person consultations, provide policy reviews and training where needed, and focus on efficient dispute resolution through arbitration or court proceedings while aligning strategy with each client’s commercial objectives and timelines.
