We have expertise in the following areas:
Insolvency
Insolvency is the catch-all term for businesses or individuals operating in situations where their liabilities outweigh their assets and as a result, cannot pay their debts. Insolvency is not the end of the road for persons or businesses operating in financial dire straits, but rather can be a chance for restructuring and relief. In other instances, it is the only recourse for a creditor to recover their debt.
We provide Clients with realistic and commercially sound advice relating to liquidation and sequestration applications, as well as other options around restructuring and business rescue that will best suit them, namely:
Family and Matrimonial Law
It is vital that couples taking the decision to join their lives and respective estates seek expert advice on the best options to protect their interests and to secure their future. We also assist Clients who find themselves at the end of this journey with advice and representation in divorce actions and maintenance applications.
We advise on a variety of family matters, including:
Criminal Law
A criminal conviction can have a significant effect on your life and prospects, so it is vital to seek legal advice if you find yourself in the unfortunate event of having to face criminal charges. It is not in your best interests to act in your defence. On the other hand, you may wish for some advice and assistance in navigating the investigative and legal system to institute criminal charges against someone else.
Our team can assist you with providing advice and representation in criminal matters such as:
Collections
