The act allows foreign investors to invest up to 100% equity in domestic market enterprises, but also sets restrictions. The goal of this law is to encourage foreign investors to provide employment opportunities, develop resources, increase the value of exports, and help fuel the overall economy.
Where we act
Our international and cross-border members handle treaty law, trade regulation, inbound investment protection, transport and movement-of-persons matters across multiple jurisdictions. They appear in domestic courts, international arbitration forums and before regional bodies.
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 Foreign Investment Protection Law members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
