| Company Profile |
| HISTORY |
| Established in November 1993, we celebrated our Fifteenth anniversary in 2008 together with that of the South African Constitution and ten years of democracy. |
| OUR LOGO |
 As we are situated in the beautiful Helderberg Basin the colours of blue and green depict the sky, ocean and the mountain ranges that surround us. The royal blue colour symbolizes how we regard our clients.
|
| The triangles depict : |
- the alpha letter signifying the first
- the scales of justice in a modern form.
- Arrow heads pointing upwards, representing our progressive spirit.
- the breathtaking height of a mountain.
- One of the strongest
engineering/geometrical shapes because of the three sided
support.
|
The waves represent :
the ocean and the continuity of our relationship with our clients. |
| CAPE TOWN |
| Ever so beautiful, Table Mountain is only 30 minutes drive from our offices. The Helderberg forms part of the greater Cape Town Metropole. We operate in and around the city and the surrounding country side. We can represent you at the Deeds Office, the Master of the High Court, the High Court, the Receiver of Revenue, Financial Institutions and Commercial Entities. |
| THE WESTERN CAPE |
| The scenic province is at the southern tip of Africa. It is surrounded by two oceans, the Atlantic Ocean on the West Coast and the Indian Ocean on the East Coast. The Orange River forms the Northern border. There are many superb tourist destinations in the province and it serves as a gateway to the rest of Africa. It is surrounded by the Northern Cape Province, the Free State and the Eastern Cape. |

Great
White Shark. Gordons Bay, The Strand, Macassar, Muizenberg and Simons Town line it, with Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Hermanus and the Northern and Southern Supburbs of Cape Town nearby. |

| Premises Photo |
|
This beautiful exotic Jacaranda Mimosifolia has for many years been part of the premises on which our firm offices are situated. It is a deciduous tree with striking lilac flowers. Although now regarded as an invader species in South Africa, it creates stunning lines of decorations in South African cities such as Pretoria (Gauteng Province) and Kimberley (Northern Cape Province). The tree is not so common in the Helderberg but forms a land mark above our logo signage in Audas Street, Somerset West. This photo was taken by our Office Manageress, Karen Barnard.
It was taken in 2008 when both our firm and the
Constitutional Court were celebrating their 15th anniversaries. Sonja Labuschagne, our Constitutional Law expert, was quick to point out that the firm logo under the tree reminds one of the
Constitutional Court architecture and symbolism depicting JUSTICE UNDER A TREE. View some photo's of the
Constitutional Court
