Legal Compliance Lawyers
Are you legally compliant?
There are many different Acts which regulate the many different aspects of business. How do you know which apply to you and what makes you legally compliant?
A lot of unsuspecting business owners have landed up in court because of legal compliance issues and not because they were irresponsible but, because they were not aware of their legal duties in the first place.
Our legal compliance lawyers can help you successfully navigate the minefield of Acts that you need to comply with, such as:
The Companies Act
The Companies Act is a set of laws that governs the running of every business in South Africa and provides business owners and company directors with legal guidelines on how to run their companies according to the letter of the law.
The Consumer Protection Act
Just like the Companies Act, the CPA regulates the finer technicalities of running your business and regulates how businesses interact with their customers.
Protection of Personal Information Act 2013
