About

Overview

From our office in Johannesburg, we help national, regional and global corporations, banks and investment funds achieve their goals in South Africa.

We do this by advising them on every area of South African business law they need and, if necessary, giving them a clear understanding of South African corporate culture and how it applies in their sector.

These local capabilities are only part of the story though. Clients benefit from our global presence, mindset and insight, along with our firmwide standards, tools and teams. As a result, we make global easy, producing exceptional results for our international clients looking to South Africa and our South African clients looking to go international.
