Working with us

Gillan & Veldhuizen Inc. is a niche practice which enables a more personal, hands-on approach to dealing with clients. This is not only critical in legal interaction, it also ensures that lasting business relationships are formed. This same characteristic ensures faster turnaround times in response to clients instructions, which significantly reduces costs.

The firm has identified that communication is the key component in its relationship with its clients. And to this end, our aim is to report back to clients regularly and for our larger clients, monthly report back meetings are held.

The directors of Gillan & Veldhuizen Inc. own their business premises, thus ensuring that overhead costs are reduced. The outcome of this cost saving exercise is that the practice is able to offer discounts of 25-50% on relative market fees to its clients. Clients are charged an hourly rate of R1 400.00 plus VAT, but in some instances, contingency agreements can be agreed upon. Conveyancing matters are charged at the rate dictated by the Law Society of the Cape of Good Hope, although significant discounts can be negotiated based on the turnover or size of the transaction.

The firms core competencies include:- Commercial Advice and Litigation, Drafting of Contracts, Liquidations and Sequestrations, Commercial Debt Collection, Matrimonial Matters, Administration of Deceased Estates, Drafting of Wills and Trusts, Conveyancing - Property Transfers, Mortagage and Notarial Bond Registration, Insurance Law, Shipping and Maritime Law, Medical Law and Administrative Law.

Gillan & Veldhuizen Inc. is a registered Level 3 Contributor with a BEE score of 75-85%. The firm has an effective human resource management plan which emphasizes career development and the upliftment of specific individuals who show talent for law but who are unable to further their legal education. This BEE strategy is also evidenced in our corporate structure, stake holding and employment strategy.
