Insights
Notes from the practice
Short pieces on the questions clients ask most often.
Getting a disciplinary hearing right the first time
Most dismissals overturned at the CCMA fail on procedure, not on the facts. A working checklist for employers, from charge sheet to outcome letter.
Read the noteWhy your estate is taking three years to wind up
The Master's queue is only part of it. The four documents that hold up most estates, and what an executor can do about them before lodging.
Read the noteIn their words
“They told us on day one that we would probably lose one of our three claims. We dropped it, and the settlement on the other two came within six weeks.”
MANAGING DIRECTOR, CONSTRUCTION SUPPLIER“The transfer took eleven weeks and I never once had to phone to ask where it stood. That alone was worth the fee.”
PROPERTY BUYER, MBOMBELA“I understood every document I signed, which had not been my experience of attorneys before.”
