| Technology |
|
The
firms specialised IT systems undoubtedly contribute to the
efficiency of the practice and we pride ourselves to be on the
cutting edge of technology to the extent that it applies to
legal offices and the communication with our clients.
Despite
operating various standardized systems compatible with most
clients, we are quite willing to discuss clients' specific
requirements so as to ensure efficiency in the transmission of
information.

| Employment |
|
Our
firm embraces the principles and purpose of the Employment
Equity Act in that we implement and promote equal opportunity
and fair treatment of our employees. This is carried out through
the elimination of unfair discrimination as well as the
implementation of affirmative action measures to redress any
disadvantages in employment experience by any of the designated
groups. This ensures equitable representation.
Since
1994, the firm has embarked upon a new program to ensure that
suitably qualified people from the designated groups are equally
represented in all occupational categories within the firm.
Once
employed, our goals are to retain, develop and implement proper
training measures for these staff, providing for skills
development where necessary.

those suggested by the Law Society of the Cape of Good Hope.

entering into special fee arrangements, as well as contingency
agreements. |

Relationship |

It
is imperative to us that a clear, open and proper relationship
is established between the client and ourselves.
This ensures that instructions are effectively carried
out in the shortest possible timeframe.
