Our services | Commercial Law

The law is an integral component of commerce. Commerce, as with any other pursuit of human endeavour, has to be played by the rules. These rules in commerce are widespread and include aspects of company law, employment law, sale and lease, tax and contract. It is essential that you place your business on a solid legal foundation in order to thrive.

Partnering with us will assist you to build this foundation.

For businesses which are based on innovation, we provide support to our clients right from the conception of an idea or creation, through to the granting of a patent, design or trademark. But this service offering would not be complete if it was not for our ability to assist you with taking your “property of the mind” to market by guiding you through the commercial maze. It is here that our expertise in commercial legal advice comes to the fore.

Mediation

Unfortunately, no new venture will avoid dispute down the line. Here we can assist in employing a cheaper and more creative alternative to litigation that lies in mediation.

Mediation is a quick, cost-effective and creative process to unlock and resolve disputes; a perfect solution for an entrepreneur. Roy Taberer is a CEDR-accredited commercial mediator, who is highly skilled in bringing parties together to resolve disputes, rather than going the costly and protracted litigation route.
