In spite of its progressive legal framework and legislation relating to commerce, competition, labour and disputes that conform to international norms, it is essential for a foreign investor to engage the services of a local legal partner, who understands the local market and the complex legislative processes for doing business within South Africa. When entering a new market you want a law firm that understands the country and has local expertise, a global outlook and a commitment to a high level of quality.
Routledge Modise in association with Eversheds can offer you superior local knowledge and broad expertise to successfully steer you through often unfamiliar business territory. As well as offering strategic and legal advice, the firm can also help you meet the right contacts. If you are thinking of setting up business in South Africa you need a local partner who can assist you from start to finish; step alongside you to fully research the market, carry out a due diligence investigation and clear the way by handling the myriad of legal and other logistical requirements.
Routledge Modise in association with Eversheds can assist with all this as well as call upon the Eversheds network for multijurisdictional assistance. By working as part of Eversheds International the firm is able to offer its clients substantially increased resources and expertise. Clients can tap into this wealth of knowledge and work through professionals who know exactly what they are talking about and have already achieved success for many other investors.
Africa is the world’s last relatively unexploited market and South Africa is the gateway to the African continent. Eversheds’ Africa Desk is run jointly from its Johannesburg and Paris offices and can help you make the most of the opportunities available. Routledge Modise in association with Eversheds has experienced professionals in all major sectors such as construction, energy, finance, healthcare, mining, mergers and acquisitions, property, retail, tax, transport, information technology and telecommunications.
