Historic prestige meets modern legal excellence. Friedland Hart Solomon & Nicolson Inc. (FHSN) is a premier South African law firm boasting a formidable legacy that stretches back well over a century. Our roots run deep into the very foundations of Pretoria’s legal fraternity, tracing all the way back to 1898 when our founder, Schalk Willem Pienaar, first commenced practice under the banner of Solomon & Nicolson. In 2009, a monumental merger with the highly respected Friedland Hart & Partners created the robust FHSN you see today. Now operating from a highly accessible, modern office park in Monument Park, just off the R21, we seamlessly blend this profound historical authority with cutting-edge legal strategy.

Our reputation for absolute integrity and legal brilliance is known and respected throughout South Africa. Under the leadership of Managing Partner Gerhard Painter, we have grown into a powerhouse practice housing 12 highly specialised attorneys, supported by a dedicated staff of over 60 professionals. Operating as seamlessly integrated, multidisciplinary teams, we have the capacity and deeply rooted expertise to offer our clients uncompromising legal services across all major fields of practice.
