The undertaking
An extension of your reputation.
We are proud to offer professional and reliable correspondent services in the Vhembe Magisterial District. We know the local landscape, understand the importance of deadlines and court procedures, and appreciate the trust placed in us when another attorney entrusts us to represent their interests.
When handling matters on behalf of instructing attorneys, we understand that when another firm appoints us as correspondents, our service becomes an extension of their reputation. That is a responsibility we take seriously.

Issuing, Service and Filing of Documents
We assist with the issuing and filing of court documents, pleadings, notices, applications and other legal processes. We can also attend to the relevant court offices, registrar and clerk's office where necessary.

Where instructed and appropriate, we assist with local litigation requirements, including court attendances, filing of documents, court-file inspections, obtaining copies and other procedural requirements.
Court Enquiries & Local Follow-Ups
We attend to local enquiries with the relevant court offices, registrars, clerks and other authorities. This is particularly useful where the instructing attorney is situated outside our jurisdiction and requires someone locally to follow up on a matter.

We assist with the issuing, filing and service of subpoenas and other legal processes, as well as following up on the relevant returns and court requirements.
Urgent Local Attendances
Where an urgent matter requires a local attorney to attend to a court, registrar, clerk, sheriff or other relevant office, we can provide prompt correspondent assistance, subject to availability and appropriate instructions.
