Spencer Tarr Malan Geyer Inc. is an established Johannesburg practice acting for individuals, companies and non-profit organisations in litigation, commercial and conveyancing matters. Our clients deal directly with the attorney handling their file.
We act in the High Court, the Magistrates' Courts and before specialist tribunals, and we handle the commercial, property and compliance work that sits alongside them. Every matter is supervised by a director from the day it is opened.
Action and application proceedings in the High Court and Magistrates' Courts, from letter of demand through to trial and taxation.
Representation before the Companies Tribunal and other quasi-judicial bodies where a dispute falls outside the ordinary courts.
Transfer and bond work, notarial deeds and attestations, attended to by specialist associate colleagues.
Agreements drafted to be understood and to hold, together with the advisory work that surrounds them.
Keeping companies and non-profits on the right side of their statutory obligations.
Administration of deceased estates and the private arrangements that come before them.
A great deal of what goes wrong in legal matters is administrative rather than legal: a document that was never signed, a deadline nobody was watching, an account nobody could explain. We have put real work into removing that risk from our practice.
Every new matter follows a defined take-on procedure, with a written mandate, a fee agreement on a published tariff, and a compliance checklist that is monitored rather than remembered. It is not glamorous, but it is the reason our clients know where their matter stands.
Before we begin, you receive a letter of engagement setting out the scope of our mandate and a fee agreement recording exactly how our fees are calculated, with the applicable tariff annexed.
Files are not passed down and forgotten. The director responsible for your matter reviews the work that goes out under the firm's name.
Correspondence, pleadings and accounts are filed to a consistent structure, so anything on your file can be found and answered without delay.
An initial discussion costs you nothing but the time it takes. If we are not the right firm for the matter, we will say so and point you in a better direction.
