Black Economic Empowerment (BEE)

We are widely recognised as being one of the most knowledgeable and experienced Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulatory teams in South Africa and were the first of only two South African law firms commissioned by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to assist with the drafting of the BEE Codes of Good Practice. As such we have first-hand knowledge of the regulator's intentions.

We have considerable practical experience in advising a large number of South African and international businesses seeking to implement BEE compliance within the legislative framework.

Our BEE advisory services include:

  • Advising on the Broad-Based BEE Act
  • Advising on the Codes of Good Practice
  • Advising on the various Transformation Charters such as the Mining Charter, Financial Services Charter, ICT Charter, and others
  • BEE ownership
  • BEE management and control structures
  • BEE due diligence
  • Broad-based schemes and trusts
  • Charter and Sector Code development
  • Preferential procurement policies

We maintain a freely accessible BEE web repository of the major BEE regulatory instruments. We also publish and regularly update an online business resource guide, The Way to BEE, to help companies understand government's broad-based BEE strategy and the DTI's Codes of Good Practice.
