Description:

We are specialised in Environmental and Health and Safety law and practice exclusively in these fields. We regularly advise both large and medium sized companies and corporations on these issues and are one of the oldest and experienced practices in South Africa.

Over the years we were actively involved in legislative drafting and review projects, as well as legal policy formulation, for local and provincial authorities (in South Africa and other countries). This firm also contributed towards several local and provincial waste related programmes where extensive legal input was provided.

We have wide experience in conducting Legal Audits, Legal Compliance Assessments and Due Diligence investigations.

We also compile and maintain Legal Registers for clients, especially for ISO 14001 and ISO 450001 purposes, as well as food safety management systems.

Our firm has a very good working relationship with consulting firms and government departments. We were former contracted legal auditors for the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) for ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 legal audits.

We are proud to confirm that we nominated by several overseas publications as specialist niche firm.

This firm is further proud to enjoy the support of large companies and corporations (South African and multinationals) as well as SMMEs, local authorities and many consulting firms. Our client base is spread around the whole of South Africa, as well as most southern African countries.

The managing attorney holds a Master's degree in (Environmental) Law.

Our client base includes small, medium and large corporations (some of whom are blue chip multinationals) and all three government tiers. This has resulted in us building up a thorough understanding of not only industrial or manufacturing processes involved, but also the resulting environmental, health and safety issues which need proper management and control.

Examples of sectors or industries we regularly work with are:

  • Waste management (recyclable, general, e-waste and hazardous, etc)
  • Beverages 
  • Metal and Steel
  • Mining (land and off-shore)
  • Minerals
  • Automotive
  • Food
