COMPANY SET-UP
Legal Consulting
The statutory law in African countries differs in most of its fields from the legal systems in Europe, Asia or America. Contractual clauses that are valid in other countries might be illegal in South Africa and vice versa. Also the legal interpretation and scope of most provisions will differ significantly from what one knows of its own legal system and bear the danger of negligent illegal behaviour.
The legal roots – among others Roman-Dutch law – further confront companies as much as individuals with extensive case law, where it poses the highest risk of being caught unaware of legal consequences – be it civil or criminal.
Into SA advises comprehensive the various legal regimes, provisions and directives, codified and based on case law, and also informs and warns of immanent changes in the law like the recent or pending changes in the Company Law, Immigration Law or through completely new Acts like the South African Consumer Protection Act.
