The dynamic nature of the South African labour market and relevant legislation can prove to be a minefield for many companies. Having a dedicated legal partner with diverse and extensive experience of labour law in South Africa, offers peace of mind for our clients in what can be a complex and contentious area.

Our comprehensive range of labour law services across the full employment suite is designed to consider the needs of both employers and employees. In addition to problem resolution, we offer an industrial counselling service to provide problem avoidance through education, performance enhancement and improving company morale by identifying and addressing grievances.
