Portrait of Kabiito Karamagi, Managing Partner at Ligomarc Advocates, photographed for a CEO East Africa Magazine feature on legal leadership, integrity, judicial reform, insolvency practice, mentorship, and the future of legal practice in Uganda.
Across a career shaped by resilience, ethical courage, and an unshakeable belief in the power of strong institutions, Kabiito Karamagi has become one of the defining voices of Uganda’s modern legal practice. From advocating for a judiciary that earns public trust, to fighting on the right side of justice in landmark restructurings, to pioneering insolvency and business-rescue solutions long before the field was fully understood, his philosophy is clear: the law must protect, transform, and create opportunity. He urges young lawyers to embrace humility and mentorship; he challenges firms to specialise, innovate, and think continentally; and he warns that technology, governance failures, and a weakening professional culture demand urgent reinvention. In his world, success is measured not in titles, but in the systems you strengthen, the businesses you save, and the people you help rise.
