Young Minds: Junior Lawyers Forum

Young Minds is a committee elected from the body of Associates, by the Associates within the firm. It is made up of a representative group of young professionals from Cape Town, Johannesburg, Nairobi, and Stellenbosch offices.

The committee drives initiatives that are aimed at the development of our young professionals.

We are able to provide experienced legal support and an authentic knowledge-based and cost-effective legal service for clients looking to do business in key markets across Africa. Our Africa practice brings together the resources and expertise of leading business law firms across the continent that have direct experience acting for governments, state agencies and multinational organisations. This combined experience across the continent produces an extensive African capability. We also partner with other professional disciplines such as audit, business consulting or corporate finance disciplines to provide a seamless and integrated solution for projects that have a multi-disciplinary dimension.
