VISION

We acknowledge the restriction imposed by previous legislation on accessible justice to the vast majority of South Africans and we are committed to promoting access to legal representation to the broader South African community. Our policy is to provide cost effective and quality legal services and subscribe to a policy of employment equity through commitment and fairness

EMPLOYMENT EQUITY

We acknowledge the necessity and value of employment equity principles taking into consideration the present need to encourage and develop previously disadvantaged groups. We are aware that historically access to our profession both by qualified professionals, candidate attorneys and secretarial and administrative staff was limited. Our employment equity policy is committed to promoting access to our firm, transfer of skills and promotes gender equality in an endeavour to redress the imbalances of the past. We strive to actively promote compliance with our statutory and social obligations, transfer skills by providing appropriate training, mentoring and support to staff members. We acknowledge the limitations of the previous dispensation with regard to promoting Black Economic Empowerment. We are BEE compliant and have been rated as such by Cofesa. We have engaged the services of Empowerdex for the current rating. In keeping with our policy of redressing the inequalities of the past, we are also focused on addressing the past economic imbalances and have we aligned our firm in accordance with our economic empowerment policy.
