Absolutely. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes. We regularly negotiate settlements, draft letters of demand, and engage in pre-litigation dispute resolution. Many commercial disputes can be resolved without costly court proceedings if addressed strategically and early.

We represent clients throughout South Africa. Whilst our offices are in Johannesburg and Cape Town, we regularly handle commercial transactions and litigation in all provinces, appearing in courts across the country through our national network.

Many commercial disputes are multi-faceted. Our integrated practice allows us to coordinate expertise across multiple areas, ensuring you receive comprehensive support whether your matter involves employment issues, insurance claims, or other specialised areas alongside the core commercial dispute.
