We have over 90 directors, representing a well-balanced blend of legal disciplines. In addition, all directors are members of teams and enjoy the support of senior team leaders who are recognised in their chosen fields of expertise.

One of the benefits of dealing with us is that specialised skills are not concentrated in isolated pockets within the firm. Instead, a strong culture of teamwork and collaboration exists across the organisation, ensuring that skills are deployed to match the unique requirements of each of our valued clients.

For example, an international company undertaking a merger in South Africa may require assistance with matters like tax, labour and environmental regulation, over and above transactional advice. It may even become necessary to consider litigation or alternative dispute resolution if a dispute arises. At Werksmans, our collective skills ensure that clients receive the best possible advice from us.

Another benefit is that our culture supports a diversity of personalities among our staff members, ensuring a ’best fit‘ working relationship with every client.
