With more than fifty years of combined experience, we are also able to offer a high quality bouquet of hands on and personalized legal services to our clients including, amongst others, property law, contracts and commercial law in all its aspects, matrimonial and family law, High Court and Magistrates Court litigation and arbitration, third-party claims, will drafting and administration of deceased estates to mention but a few.
