Read more about our firm

We believe that our service offering is quiet uniquely packaged for our clients, without compromising on its depth, impact and professionalism. Our services were initially packaged in a more traditional way, although there was a sound exchange of information between the departments.

Our firm has, because of the wholistic approach to our clients needs, morphed into providing general counsel to our clients on a variety and long term of commercial, legal and compliance matters, more as that of a partner than a service provider. This approach has culminated in various retainer relationships which are serving our clients well.

We have fully fledged commercial, conveyancing and litigation departments, each functioning in its own sphere and have compiled bespoke monthly service packages dependent on the client's needs.
