The practice of media law may involve all of the types of legal issues that might arise during the production or consumption of various types of media.
Where we act
Our private-client and personal-law members act for individuals and families on disputes that affect their lives, livelihoods and legacies. They appear in the High Court, Magistrates’ Courts, Family Courts and through mediation and settlement.
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 Media Law members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
