LegalWise celebrates 40 years

Honouring Lifetime Loyalty and Meaningful Partnerships 

As LegalWise celebrates 40 years, we honour the loyalty of our Members, stakeholders, and employees who have shaped our journey. This milestone reflects our strong relationships and our shared commitment to justice. We express our deepest gratitude through recognition, celebration, and giving back.

Celebrating 40 Years and a Successful 2024 with our Employees

2024 year-end functions were truly unforgettable, as our teams around the country came together to celebrate our 40th Anniversary. Each team marked this milestone with enthusiasm, camaraderie, and a shared sense of pride and purpose. As we closed out the year, it was the perfect opportunity to reflect on our achievements, individually, as teams and as a company. A heartfelt thank you to our employees. 

Celebrating 40 Years with our Stakeholders

Our 40th Anniversary celebrations commenced on Thursday 7 November 2024, at the historic Women's Jail located at Constitution Hill, Johannesburg. This significant precinct, which houses the Constitutional Court, invites all visitors to reflect on our country's past, envision the future, and engage with the present. This setting allowed us to honour the invaluable contributions of our past and present shareholders, board members, employees, and partners, whose efforts have built the foundation of our organisation over the past four decades. As we reminisced about our history, we also seized the moment to look ahead to the next 40 years of championing justice alongside the people of South Africa.

Celebrating 40 Years of justice with our valued partners 

One of our core values as a company is that "relationships drive our service," and this is particularly evident in the significant contributions of our numerous partners and suppliers toward our brand's purpose. As part of our ongoing 40th Anniversary celebrations, we gathered to celebrate this milestone with our partners and suppliers on Thursday 21 November 2024, at The Venue on Leslie.

In honour of this milestone, we confirm that we will be donating R150 000 to our Payroll Giving partners on behalf of our stakeholders, partners and Network Lawyers. Our Payroll Giving partners span the length and breadth of South Africa, dedicated to supporting the destitute, alleviating suffering, and making a lasting impact in communities. They care for sick children and adults, providing essential support to their families, they shelter abandoned and abused animals, they nurture entrepreneurship in rural areas, and they strive to break the cycle of gangsterism and crime in our cities.
