Our Johannesburg office was launched in 2012 and has since grown to more than 120 lawyers and business services staff. By combining our substantial global resources and market-leading local presence in South Africa, we provide a truly international, on-the-ground service offering to our clients operating across the African market.

Working alongside Africa-focused lawyers from across the global Firm, as well as with our Africa Relationship Firms in every jurisdiction in which we do business, our locally qualified South African team advises governments, domestic and multinational companies, project sponsors, banks and other financial institutions on a wide range of legal issues.

As New Lawyers, we are responsive to our clients’ changing needs in a post-pandemic environment. We partner with our clients in a commercial and collaborative manner, operating in multi-jurisdictional, industry-focused teams that transact fluently across multiple borders; using innovation and legal technology to solve challenges, speed up transactions and assist us in identifying exciting new opportunities for our clients in Africa.
