Consumer Protection

Our Consumer Protection team is a forerunner in the field of consumer protection law in South Africa.

Consumer Protection Services

The coming into force of the Consumer Protection Act, No 68 of 2008 (CPA), in April 2011 not only dramatically changed the legal landscape for the conduct of business with consumers, but also in respect of marketing to consumers and for businesses involved in manufacturing consumer goods, even if those businesses don’t deal with end consumers.

The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has made it clear that it will vigorously pursue its mandate to protect consumers and bring to book businesses that don’t comply with the CPA. A good knowledge of the CPA and how to comply with its content are mandatory for consumer driven businesses.

What can we do for your business?

  • Training sessions and executive presentations tailored to your business.
  • Opinions regarding the existence of legal risks and the application of the CPA.
  • Focused reviews of internal processes and documentation.
  • Strategic assistance in dealing with complaints from consumers.
  • Interacting with the regulator on complaint proceedings or other regulatory action.
  • Specialised litigation before the Consumer Tribunal and courts.
