We are different.

We are a boutique law firm that focuses almost exclusively on corporate governance, ethics and compliance. We help companies foster a positive workplace culture by facilitating employee engagement through our e-learning platform and comprehensive compliance management system.

How we are different.

We bring distingushable value to our clients:

  • We are a law firm, which means attorney-client privilege applies.
  • We have a deliberately narrow focus, our firm is almost exclusively focused on corporate compliance, ethics and governance.
  • We have experience providing professional assistance in advising on the adequacy of corporate compliance, governance & ethics programs.
  • We have worked with companies across a broad range of industries and regulatory frameworks. This has involved helping clients address the substantive governance, compliance and ethics risks that are unique to their industries, as well as helping clients incorporate best practices from outside their own industries that have cross industry applicability.
  • As a boutique firm we do not have the high overhead of larger firms to pass on to clients and instead focus on reducing costs. We have flexible arrangements in terms of billing and work methods.
  • Despite our boutique size, we handle large accounts across jurisdictions who find that we are able to service their needs with high levels of responsiveness, quality and efficiency. We only take a limited number of projects at a time so that our clients can receive maximum attention.
  • We offer unbiased advice that is free from conflicts of interest because of our non affiliated status.

Our Approach

Although we are a boutique-sized firm, our clientele include corporations operating regionally in Africa who appreciate our ability to meet their requirements with exceptional quality, efficiency, and responsiveness. By deliberately handling a limited number of projects concurrently, we ensure our clients receive personalized attention and support.


  • Program Evaluation and Improvement

    We help our clients to evaluate and improve the efficacy of their ethics and compliance programs. This helps them to prevent misconduct from happening and mitigate its negative outcomes in the event that misconduct does occur.

  • Risk Assessment

    We help clients assess their ethics and compliance risks so that they can design and apply tailor-made compliance interventions.

  • Training & Development

    We help our clients design and implement impactful and effective training and communication programs that bedrock their compliance and ethics programs.

  • Data Analytics & Automation

    We assist clients in enhancing the data-driven and automated aspects of their compliance efforts. This empowers compliance teams to respond to evolving situations and circumstances with efficiency and agility.

  • Independent Monitoring

    We act as an independent compliance monitor or consultant, aiding our clients in implementing interventions in response to regulatory compliance incidents, under regulator-mandated remediation agreements.

  • Fractional Compliance Management

    When clients can benefit from temporary resource injections or specialised skills to address their compliance challenges, we step in to assist.

  • Transactional Support

    We assist in overseeing compliance related to risks in M&A transactions through pre-deal due diligence and continuous monitoring of compliance programs.

  • Dispute resolution

    We provide expert support and advisory services in situations involving compliance program scrutiny or disputes.

DataHub is a wiki with data protection related decisions and knowledge, enabling anyone to find and share data protection insights from Africa!


DataHub collects and summarizes laws & decisions from the Data Protection Authority (DPA) and courts. We believe a good overview of decisions is key to a debate on the interpretation of contentious data protection issues.
