De Sousa Govender Incorporated is a dynamic and forward-thinking multi-practice law firm of attorneys and conveyancers focused on providing professional legal services with integrity and mindfulness.
Areas of Practice
Conveyancing
We go above and beyond for our clients to ensure seamless executions at the Pretoria and Johannesburg Deeds Offices. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and can assist with transfers of properties, bond processes and various other registrations from start to finish.
Dispute Resolution
We make every effort to help clients resolve matters without protracted litigation weighing, inter alia, legal risks, commercial risks and business or personal objectives to carve out the most favourable settlement for clients.
Arbitration
This internationally recognised method of commercial dispute resolution often allows parties to reach a speedy resolution of their matter. We take cognisance of agreed upon arbitration Rules and will represent clients with their goals in mind.
Civil Litigation
We have vast experience in general civil litigation in the High Court, Regional Court and Magistrates Court. We draw on this experience and intimate knowledge of the Rules of Court to strategize and achieve streamlined results for clients efficiently and cost-effectively.
Commercial Law
Taking into consideration clients’ business needs with professionalism, we not only aim to aid and assist businesses going through commercial disputes and litigation, but we can also assist with the drafting and vetting of various commercial contracts with a keen eye for detail.
Collections
The National Credit Act dictates credit providers’ rights and obligations and should not be taken lightly. Clients can rely on us to advise them accordingly and take the necessary steps to collect amounts owed to them in terms of the law.
Insurance Law
Our keen eye for detail carries through with respect to complex insurance policies or claims (short or long term) and disputes or litigation arising therefrom.
Family Law
We are geared to assist you with family law matters, including advising couples on marital regimes, drawing up antenuptial contracts and divorces. We are mindful of the emotional and financial stress and will be by your side for every step of the way.
Property Law
Property Law involves the rights of people to things and we can resolve disputes relating thereto for clients. We can take the stress out of going through the process of commercial ejectments and residential evictions in terms of the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act, 1998. We can also help recover arrear rental and damages for landlords from tenants, alternatively, ensure that tenants are treated fairly, in terms of the law, by their landlords.
Correspondent Services
We can offer great assistance to other attorneys in navigating the procedures of our local Courts. We provide an impeccable service relating to various court attendances including appearances, attending at Sheriff offices, briefing local counsel, service and filing and indexing and paginating. We pride ourselves on our competitive correspondent attorney rates, a quick turn-around time and reliable and regular reporting to instructing attorneys. See our areas of jurisdiction.
Our Firm
De Sousa Govender Incorporated is a dynamic and forward-thinking Level One 100% black female owned multi-practice law firm. We take ourselves to be skilled legal professionals with an abundance of experience in our practice areas.
We are proud of the immaculate quality of our services. Our philosophy is to “do it right the first time” and that involves an acute attention to detail while staying mindful of the bigger picture. We strive to calculate all possible outcomes and provide our clients with all the information to make informed decisions.
As it should be with the entire legal profession, our duties towards our clients, the court (and tribunals), our colleagues, the public and our planet are of utmost importance. We go above and beyond mere compliance and ensure that our integrity and that of this profession is never compromised.
In light of our values, we have a fresh perspective on operations – archaic practices of traditional law firms are rather achieved in a contemporary and eco-conscious fashion. For example, we make use of a digitised and completely paperless practice management system and our branch office is 100% solar-powered.
The result? Not only are we able to focus on delivering a service that is efficient and affordable, but on behalf of our clients, we’re doing our part towards conservation.
Jurisdiction
We are conveniently located in Johannesburg North and our branch office is within the jurisdictional areas of Johannesburg High Court, Johannesburg Magistrates Court, Randburg Magistrates Court, Land Claims Court and Alexandra Magistrates Court. We are able to act in these courts without utilising a correspondent or we are able to, ourselves, act as local correspondent in these courts.
