Commercial litigation is a broad term that describes virtually every type of dispute that may arise in a business context. Common examples of commercial litigation include breach of contract, partnership disputes, class actions, and shareholder issues. Legal services for business are usually required in all these cases.
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 Commercial Litigation members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
