Business Rescue Law

Specialist counsel from the Duma Nokwe Group of Advocates — part of our Commercial & Corporate practice.

The aim of business rescue is to restructure the affairs of a company in such a way that either maximises the likelihood of the company continuing in existence on a solvent basis or results in a better return for the creditors of the company than would ordinarily result from the liquidation of the company.

Where we act

Members of our chambers are regularly briefed on the full lifecycle of commercial matters — from formation, finance and contract through dispute, dissolution and recovery. Our counsel appear in the High Court, Supreme Court of Appeal, the Companies Tribunal and arbitration forums across South Africa.

How we work

Briefs may be sent directly to a named member or routed through our clerk, who will recommend the most appropriate counsel by seniority and area of focus. Opinions, drafting, mediation, hearings and appeals are all undertaken on the standard JSA tariff with clear scoping at the outset.

Who briefs us

Our Business Rescue Law members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
