The firm of record

Founded in 2020. Built for work at this level.

SL Law is a multidisciplinary commercial law firm advising businesses, investors, financial institutions and family offices on South African and cross-border matters.

Our transactional practice brings together corporate and commercial law, banking and finance, property, tax and exchange control. We advise on business acquisitions, property developments and cross-border investments, addressing funding, tax and regulatory approvals from the outset and carrying the transaction through negotiation, documentation and completion.

We act in commercial and property disputes and advise on restructuring and insolvency. Our immigration and private client teams assist business owners and families with residency, succession and estate planning, including where their interests span several jurisdictions.

Read the firm

The tax inside the agreement

Transfer duty, capital gains, a SARS directive and exchange control are settled in the document, not written up after it is signed.

From offer to registration

Residential and commercial transfers, developments and sectional schemes, with the mortgage bond lodged by the same floor.

A matter that will not settle

Commercial disputes, evictions and sectional-title litigation, taken through the High Court to a result the client can use.

A family arriving, or leaving

The visa, the tax residence and the house are one instruction. So is the estate a family leaves behind.
