We are a firm that is committed to transformation and empowerment in the workplace, and we continually strive to reflect the demographics of the South African population.

We promote this objective by actively recruiting, training, developing and retaining both professional and support staff from previously disadvantaged, designated groups.

We embrace change and encourage diversity and, wherever possible, we make use of preferential procurement policies and partner with other appropriate firms / practitioners, in order to advance transformation. We are also actively involved in the training and development of previously disadvantaged law firms / practitioners.

The Candidate Attorneys (CA’s) at the firm are chosen from a select group of applicants, allowing for a more focused learning approach, more hands-on legal experience and greater retention of CA's after admittance. 

Applications for 2025 are closed.

Applications for 2026 and 2027 are open, but 2026 Applications close on 31 May 2025.
