At a glittering ceremony hosted at the Hilton Hotel in Sandton on Friday, 1 September, our South African team scooped top honours in the African Legal Awards for African Law Firm of the Year – Southern Africa (Large Firm)

We drafted a compelling entry which detailed our African footprint and recently launched African Leadership Group as well as our Pro Bono and Social Impact initiatives and focus on renewables.

Brent and Greg attended the awards which was well attended by our local and African competitors.

Andrew Robinson, CEO said:

This award was not won by chance but is a true testament to the hard work our team has put in over the past year, and every year before that. In the Africa Top 50 category, which celebrates the 50 biggest law firms in Africa, we were ranked 7th. This is the third ranking improvement in successive years, up from 10th in 2021 and 8th in 2022.
