The firm of record

Founded in 2020. Built for work at this level.

SL Law Incorporated is instructed when a file will not stay in one lane. Conveyancing is lodged by the firm’s own floor. Mergers, banking and cross-border mandates sit with the corporate desk. Litigation is taken in the High Court rather than passed on.

The office is at Suite 4, 35 on Rose, Rose Street, Bo-Kaap, Cape Town City Centre. Level 1 B-BBEE contributor.

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.

Expertise

One file, from the agreement to the court.

A sale is read with its tax. A company is read with the Reserve Bank. A dispute is taken only as far as the result is worth having.

All practices

People

The names on the door, and the bench behind them.

Stefan Le Roux on the transaction and the estate. Phillip Sampson on the transfer, the visa and the High Court. Beside them, corporate, exchange control, and the floor that registers the bond.
