Corporate and Commercial

Corporate and Commercial law is the focal point of the greater part of Cliffe Dekker's legal practice, with the majority of our professional staff being respected experts in this field. The corporate and commercial department is manned by a team that offers a potent blend of youthful dynamism and invaluable experience.

The range of services offered by this practice area is extremely broad. We are proud of the fact that we have become the chosen business partner of many of South Africa's leading corporate entities, several of which are listed on the JSE Securities Exchange SA. Our relationship with many of these firms dates back to the formation or listing of the company concerned. Our clients are assured of professional and sound advice in any sphere of corporate and commercial practice be it: listings, joint ventures, corporate restructuring and unbundling, due diligence investigations, tax advice or the preparation and negotiation of agreements.

With such expansive resources, Cliffe Dekker is the natural choice for many foreign corporate entities wishing to establish a presence in South Africa. We are able to offer realistic and thorough advice on all aspects of joining the South African market. We can assist with the secretarial aspects of forming and registering companies in South Africa, guide clients through the pitfalls of South African competition (anti-trust) regulations, offer advice regarding local tax legislation and ensure that any foreign venture into South Africa is given legal services of the highest standard.
