Our practice areas
Property Law
Branch of law that governs the ownership, use, and transfer of property. It deals with rights and obligations related to both tangible property (such as land, buildings, and personal belongings) and intangible property (like intellectual property and financial assets).
Property Transfers
Property Transfers refer to the legal process of transferring ownership or rights in a property from one party to another. This process ensures that the ownership change is valid, enforceable, and recognized under the law. Property transfers can involve real property (like land or buildings) or personal property (like vehicles or intellectual property).
Estates
Estates Law is a branch of law that deals with the management, distribution, and administration of a person’s assets and liabilities after their death. It ensures that an individual’s wishes regarding their property and dependents are carried out, either through a will or, in the absence of one, according to statutory provisions.
Commercial Law
Commercial Law, also known as business law or mercantile law, governs the rights, relations, and conduct of individuals and businesses engaged in commerce, trade, and sales. It encompasses a wide range of legal disciplines to regulate business operations and ensure fair practices in the marketplace.
Contracts
Contracts are legally binding agreements between two or more parties that create mutual obligations enforceable by law. They are a fundamental aspect of legal and commercial relationships, governing exchanges of goods, services, or other considerations.
Insolvency Law
Insolvency Law governs situations where an individual or a business is unable to meet its financial obligations and repay debts. It provides mechanisms to either restructure debts or liquidate assets to settle obligations, while balancing the rights of creditors and the insolvent party.
Civil Litigation
Civil Litigation is the legal process of resolving disputes between individuals, organizations, or entities through the court system. It typically involves non-criminal matters, where one party (the plaintiff) seeks compensation, damages, or specific remedies from another party (the defendant).
Family Law
Family Law is a branch of law that focuses on legal matters related to family relationships. It governs issues such as marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, and the rights and responsibilities of family members.
Debt collection
Debt Collection is the process of pursuing payments owed by individuals or businesses to creditors. It involves efforts to recover outstanding debts through negotiation, legal action, or other means. Debt collection laws ensure the process is conducted fairly and within legal boundaries.
Criminal Law
Criminal Law is the body of law that defines offenses against the state or public, outlines punishments, and governs the procedures for investigating, prosecuting, and punishing individuals who commit crimes. Its primary aim is to maintain public order, protect society, and deter criminal behavior.

FICA
The Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 (FICA) was enacted for the purpose of identifying the proceeds of unlawful activities, combating money laundering and the financing of terrorist and related activities.
FICA imposes certain obligations on persons and institutions that may be approached and employed for these purposes. As an attorney firm, we qualify as an accountable institution in terms of FICA and must comply with its requirements. FICA obliges us to establish and verify the identity of our clients. We are required to request copies of certain documents that have been identified as necessary for this purpose and keep adequate records of these documents for a certain time period.
FICA also requires us to report certain domestic and international transactions to the Financial Intelligence Centre, which in turn provides such information to other intelligence and investigatory bodies, should the circumstances so require.
As a firm, we are committed to ethical conduct and the prevention of money laundering and terrorist activities, but aim to balance the rights and privacy of our clients against our obligations in terms of FICA and undertake to maintain the privacy of our clients and only to disclose such information as required to be kept by us in terms of FICA and when requested to do so by the Financial Intelligence Centre.
Should you have any questions relating to FICA, you can contact our Compliance Officer,
