Corporate and Commercial

 

Whilst the firm is a specialised niche practice, it is fundamentally a commercial law practice and accordingly we provide a wide range of conventional corporate and commercial legal services and solutions to our clients.Our pragmatic and business-centric approach aims to ensure that whilst clients are fully appraised of the legal risks relevant to a particular transaction, they (or the transaction) are not hamstrung by commercially unsound legal issues which can threaten to disrupt a transaction or relationship. 
We have been involved in numerous public private partnerships and PPP-aligned projects, private equity and structured finance transactions, many of which in recent times included the establishment and implementation of black empowerment structures.

  • Advice on legal aspects of corporate structuring, take-overs, mergers and acquisitions;
