We are delighted to be awarded a Gold ranking in the first edition of the Copyright 1000 published by IAM and WTR. This achievement highlights the expertise of our copyright team and the confidence our clients place in us to handle complex, high-profile matters.

This recognition comes at a pivotal time for South Africa’s copyright landscape. Legislative reform in the Copyright Amendment Bill and technological advances continue to reshape the creation, protection, and commercialisation of creative works. The legal uncertainty therefore remains in several respects, and the practical impact of the new regime has yet to be tested.

IAM and WTR’s Copyright 1000 highlights the leading firms and individuals operating at the very top of the copyright legal market across key national jurisdictions. It provides an authoritative guide to the practices shaping copyright law and enforcement worldwide, considering reputations, depth of expertise, and sophistication of work.

Thank you to our clients and colleagues who make achievements like this possible. We look forward to continuing to lead and contribute to the development of copyright law.
