At some point, every business faces a debt that should have been paid and hasn’t been. Or a dispute that negotiation alone cannot resolve. Or a counterparty who has walked away from their obligations and left you with no good options. That is when you need a litigation attorney who knows exactly what to do — and where to do it.Smith Bekwa handles debt recovery and commercial litigation across South Africa. We institute and defend legal proceedings on behalf of clients in courts across the country, from the Magistrates’ Courts to the High Court. Our litigation practice is particularly focused on the property industry — where disputes involving landlords, tenants, purchasers, sellers, developers, and financial institutions require attorneys who understand not just the law of contract, but the property market context in which those contracts operate.We also take qualifying debt recovery matters on a contingency basis. That means your legal action is not held back by the cost of pursuing it. If the debt is recoverable and the facts support it, we will pursue it — and our fee comes from the recovery, not from you upfront.
