Legal information disclaimer
General information only
Everything published on this website — service pages, guides, articles, answers to common questions — is general legal information for South Africa. It is written to help you understand situations, not to advise you on yours. Legal advice requires knowing the facts, documents and history of a specific matter.
No attorney-client relationship
Reading this site, calling the office, or submitting an enquiry does not make you a client of the firm and does not create an attorney-client relationship. The firm can only act after conflicts are checked, an engagement is agreed in writing, and a mandate is signed. Until then, do not treat anything on this site — or an acknowledgement of your enquiry — as the firm acting for you.
No guarantees
Past results published on this site do not guarantee future outcomes. Every matter depends on its own facts, evidence, law and process. The firm makes no promises of eligibility, timing or amounts anywhere on this website, and no statement here should be read as one.
Deadlines
Legal claims are subject to prescription and statutory notice periods, some of them short. This website cannot determine, calculate or preserve any deadline for you, and delay can permanently end a claim. If you think you may have a claim, contact an attorney promptly.
Emergencies
The firm is not an emergency service. If anyone is in danger or needs urgent medical care, contact emergency services first.
Currency of content
Legal content shows publication and review dates and is reviewed on a schedule, but the law changes; content may be out of date between reviews. Where an article has been materially updated, a “what changed” note is shown.
Version 1.0 · Effective and last reviewed: 15 July 2026 · Owner: The Director, Lesiba Kabelo Leshilo · Review cadence: at least annually and whenever law, policy or processing changes. Earlier versions are retained by the firm and available on request.
