We believe that: property is truly a double-edged sword. We believe this is one area of law where we see public and private law more plainly intersect and clash. The property clause in the Constitution is highly contested and under debate with many stakeholders pushing for and against expropriation of land without compensation. Claims for land restitution are still on-going and being processed. Meanwhile, there are new townships that are being established, new developments that are emerging everywhere and in these economic times, many transfers of property occurring between people whether it be due to usual sales, divorce proceedings, deaths and inheritances or general distressed properties. We are able to assist in navigating property law as it stands today. We are able to advise on:
- Transfers of property
- Consolidations and subdivisions of property
- Opening of sectional title schemes
- Developments and township establishments
- Mortgage registrations and cancellations
- Servitudes
When it comes to intellectual property, we believe that ideas and inventions are the key to economic growth and development. We believe that the state should do everything in its power to afford those who come up with brilliant designs and concepts protection from having their ideas and inventions exploited by others for economic value that should rightfully accrue to the originators of the ideas. We are able to assist with registration of:
- Trademarks
- Copyrights
- Patents
- Designs
