Since 1994 South Africa has seen a substantial growth in
legislation which has impacted numerous commercial sectors. In order to
participate in these sectors, our clients need guidance in dealing with
legislative, administrative and regulatory challenges. Increasing regulatory
burden calls for specialists who have the necessary experience to address
regulatory risk.
We have experts in constitutional, public and administrative law
who can assist with strategic advice and have experience in working with the
regulators in government, organs of state and public bodies.
Regulatory requirements are increasing worldwide and regulators'
powers to impose criminal or quasi-criminal sanctions on businesses and senior
managers are also increasing. DLA Piper has one of the largest specialist
regulatory and government affairs groups of any global legal services
organisation, with experts across the regulatory spectrum. Through our
affiliation with DLA Piper, Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr can help our clients by
providing advice where transactions span many jurisdictions.
