Ruth Sebatindira SC

Ruth Sebatindira SC is the founder and managing partner of Ligomarc Advocates, advancing the firm's Vision 2030 & Beyond agenda to be Africa's most trusted legal and strategic partner to enterprises, governments, financiers and institutions, and infrastructure players. She leads the technology and IP corridor and the tax and private wealth practice, advising on complex, high-scrutiny matters where outcomes depend on institutional-standard governance, execution-ready documentation, and disciplined risk management. Ruth's profile is anchored in her court-appointed leadership of Uganda Telecom Limited, where she built practical exposure to telecoms operations, the contracting architecture that underpins technology delivery, and regulated-sector decisioning under stakeholder scrutiny. She supports institutions, governments, financiers, and corporates on digital infrastructure contracting, multi-vendor agreement architecture, procurement and delivery governance, regulatory interface strategy, IP structuring, and data governance embedded into project execution as an operational risk discipline. Ruth is particularly recognized for transfer pricing, studied in depth during postgraduate work at the University of Manchester, including a dissertation on transfer pricing. She advises on transaction tax structuring, cross-border operating models, transfer pricing documentation and controversy readiness, and board-level tax risk governance. She also advises high-net-worth individuals and families - often alongside investment advisors - on legal structuring for asset protection, continuity, and succession.
