Group Chair, Douglas Henney remarks:

“The new website is the culmination of months of development and supports the vision of the group to position the group brand as a high value national brand with an integrated service directory and network of top member firms across South Africa. The group website allows us to integrate our services to the public more effectively and create greater awareness of the group, its values, its strategic partners and its focus on service delivery, black economic empowerment and training and development. In addition, the website provides a sophisticated platform for disseminating legal information and updates to our clients as well as informing the public of career opportunities and vacancies at member firms. Particularly from a candidate attorney perspective, the website allows a candidate attorney to apply to a number of law firms he or she may be interested in, in one simple application process. We are very excited about the website, and believe this provides the ideal platform for further development of features that add value to firm clients and allow our clients to access and benefit from the economies of scale and the broad range of expertise and experience available within the group.”
