KZN's Leading Law Firms 2022

MAYNARD MENON GOVENDER SINGH INCORPORATED Be the change ...

“SHOW me your friends and I will tell you who you are.” This age-old wisdom remains true and applicable today. But for the Maynard Menon Govender Singh Incorporated team, this adapted version is far more relevant: “Show us who your lawyers are and we will tell you who you are.”

‘What we nurture is what grows’

Maynard Menon Govender Singh Incorporated is a pre-eminent, ground up and re-defined legal team seeded and strengthened in the fertile and constitutionally compliant post-1994 ground. It is a firm committed to purist egalitarianism, with solid principles that are never subservient to the relentless and often ruthless pursuit of profit. It is proudly a firm that provides exceptional service within the context of a completely prejudice free environment.

“When I look at the profile, presence and reputation of this law firm, in my view, I think now this was the dream of our Freedom Charter.”

– Dr Ela Gandhi – Peace activist and granddaughter of the late Mahatma Gandhi.

“I anticipate that this law firm will become a leading centre for critically-needed and progressive public engagement and debate.”

– Professor Robert van Niekerk – Chair of public governance at the Wits School of Governance.

With a branch office now in Cape Town completing the firm’s national footprint, and a 1 000-m2 purpose-built bespoke head office with state-of-the-art architecture, leading-edge systems and Zen energy – Maynard Menon Govender Singh Incorporated’s “showroom” nevertheless remains a servant of its “store room”.

“Maynard Menon Govender Singh Inc embodies the original spirit of the struggle for freedom and development that characterised the liberation of South Africa. Sadly, so much of that ethos and so many of those values dedicated to building the post-apartheid ‘good society’ have been lost in the headlong pursuit of naked primitive accumulation. Yet this law firm stands proudly and full-square behind those earlier and noble ideals, while remaining strongly embedded in our modern and volatile global and national context. This much is evident in the striking architecture of its Westville head office, in the historic artefacts that pepper its walls and in the quality and care exercised by its diverse team of lawyers and specialised personable staff. It is without doubt, a beacon to the kind of company all South Africans should aspire to build. As a friend of the firm, I wish them well in the years ahead.”

Vishnu Padayachee (1952 - 2021) – former distinguished professor and Derek Schrier and Cecily Cameron Chair in Development Economics at Wits School of Economics and Finance.

With six full-time conveyancers, 15 full-time attorneys and a handpicked selection of industry expert consultants – the firm offers a full spectrum of legal services.
