The firm was founded in 2019 and has grown to becoming the firm of choice for companies involved in domestic or international litigation.
Our clients are successful entrepreneurs and professionals, fast growing and innovative companies, as well as larger companies facing existential legal threats, often with a focus on the technology and finance industries.
Having secured landmark judgments in the Supreme Court of Appeal and international coverage relating to the Crypto-Asset industry, the firm has established itself as an authority within evolving areas of practice. The firm also attributes its success to its traditional legal service offering within its surrounding community of Wynberg and the Cape Town CBD.
We pride ourselves on providing clear, practical, commercial advice and effective representation, and work closely with our clients to achieve their strategic objectives.
The firm is also recognised as one of the leading firms for diversity. We believe that a diverse workforce, where all of our colleagues feel respected, builds a stronger firm, and benefits clients and the wider community.
We are Suburban at our roots but our work profile extends across multiple international jurisdictions such as Central Africa, North America, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean coast. We aim to make the law accessible to people from all walks of life. Our clients have come to value our personalised touch and commitment to excellence through our attention to detail and resilience.
