Social media platforms have become one of the most powerful tools today for people, businesses, organizations, communities, and even governments to connect, promote, and inform the general public. Its far-reaching scope has made the world an even smaller digital community over the past few years, making life a little bit easier for most, if not everyone. However, there are also risks involved in using communication devices, and well-known Texas-based attorney Jammy Kiggundu wants to ensure that users are well-aware of its legal implications.
As an active social advocate, he recently became a spokesperson for several organizations, including Crime Stoppers of Houston, tackling issues such as cyberbullying and cyber safety. Despite his very busy schedule as a sports and entertainment law practitioner, he makes time to travel around the country to speak about social issues he is very passionate about. Anything that impacts the community is something that Mr. Kiggundu wants to explore and ensure that the public is well-informed to help them shape decisions.
He often gets invited to speak in various forums, from seminars to lectures, private events, career fairs, and panels, to mention a few. Audiences are also drawn to his engaging personality, humor, and wit. Using his influence to educate people so they can understand pressing issues better is something that he does passionately outside of the courtroom.
“I have been fortunate enough to have a successful career that interests people enough to pay attention to the information I share. As a result, I use my platform to inform the community of various topics of interest,” Mr. Kiggundu shares.
Mr. Kiggundu’s public service announcements are available on American Airlines in-flight entertainment, Talk Business 360 TV, Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV. Working closely with various media platforms allows him to reach more people with lesser resources. In today’s high-tech day and age, he believes in the value of using digital tools to accomplish objectives.
His law practice is nothing but remarkable, with an impressive list of high-profile clients relying on his legal services to get them favorable results in court and resolutions to legal disputes. Mr. Kiggundu has represented NBA Hall of Famers, Grammy-nominated artists, television studios, filmmakers, and actors among others.
He co-founded the law firm Douglass & Kiggundu, PLLC, and his team became nationally known for the lawsuit Hogs Dogs & Lace, LLC et al. vs. A&E Television Network and Sharp Entertainment, et al. The case drew national attention, which made him a regular face on various news and entertainment publications such as The Hollywood Reporter and Yahoo News.
Mr. Kiggundu is a man of integrity and excellence. He is the recipient of the 2018 Lawyers of Distinction for Excellence in Sports and Entertainment Law, was a 2016 Houstonia Magazine Top Lawyers awardee, and is among the National Black Lawyers 2018 Top 100 Lawyers. He is also a two-term Emeritus Chair of the Entertainment and Sports Law Section of the Houston Bar Association. He finished his degree at the University of New Mexico School of Law.
Apart from being an attorney, he also held licenses as an NBA agent and mortgage broker. Alongside his law practice and social advocacies, he is currently doing projects with some of his clients from the entertainment industry, including comedy tours, music tours, music festivals, television series, and a cellphone movie application.
On top of being a notable attorney and public speaker, Mr. Kiggundu is also living proof that with grit and hard work, anyone can choose to juggle several ventures and be passionate about them still. His focus and business acumen allow him to create a balanced career, one that will leave a lasting legacy many years from now.
