85 Years of growth

Since its establishment, VDT has grown to deliver exceptional service in specialised fields of the law while building a reputation as a people-centric firm.

Through the everchanging nature of the professional environment, VDT has managed to keep their feet firm on the ground to withstand this sometimes-unforeseen change.

VDT was and still is founded on several guiding principles that have provided the pillars of their culture. These principles revolve around trust, integrity, a strong work ethic and client service orientation, resulting in a culture that creates custom-made and effective solutions. Additionally, VDT’s values enable them to extend themselves far beyond just being a law firm.

Through identifying keen-minded and technically proficient people from previously disadvantaged communities, VDT has encouraged them to gain relevant work experience and academic education through career planning, appropriate training courses and education bursary schemes.

As a focus within the firm and for the personal growth of the VDT staff, the firm fosters a cooperative environment with departments and individuals who support each other to provide solutions that are exceptional for their clients. When ready, VDT incorporated their focus on Black Economic Empowerment transformation. Because this is a long-term commitment for the firm, they are constantly working towards increasing diversity in the workplace. This commitment is reflected by their BEE Verification Certificate which establishes them as a level 4 contributor and value adding supplier.

Nuwe wet beskerm jou persoonlike inligting

Jou eerste dagtaak op kantoor voordat jy met jou werk kan begin is om die magdom “spam” van jou inkomende eposse uit te vee wat oornag ingekom het. Om nie eers te praat van die onwelkome oproepe en sms’e van tele-bemarkers wat dienste aan jou wil smous van maatskappye wat jy nog nooit eers van gehoor het nie. En ironies genoeg, hierdie teistering begin dikwels kort nadat jy ‘n nuwe verbruikerskontrak gesluit het waarin jy spesifiek versoek dat jy nie gekontak moet word vir bemarking nie!

Driver’s beware. Losing your license is easier than you think!

Driver’s beware. Losing your license is easier than you think!

Alice is on her way to school with the children. The road is surprisingly quiet this morning and she is not paying too much attention to her speedometer. Suddenly a traffic officer jumps out and waves her over. Glancing down she sees that she was driving just over 90km/h. Preparing herself for the speeding fine, Alice is shocked when the traffic officer issues her with a notice and informs her that because she exceeded the speed limit by more than 30 km/h she has to appear in court. How can this be? Surely she wasn’t driving that fast and now she has to go to court? What happened to the usual speeding fine?
