Assheton-Smith Ginsberg Incorporated offers strategic, 

results-driven commercial litigation services for clients 

facing corporate and commercial disputes. We specialise 

in business dispute resolution, pursuing matters through 

court proceedings or alternative mechanisms such as 

mediation and arbitration. Our corporate litigation 

attorneys assess success by the realisation of beneficial 

outcomes — not just legal wins, but real commercial impact.

Our team offers the full spectrum of property

related advice from structuring high-end

property transactions to bringing commercial

evictions, fighting neighbour disputes, 

drafting and enforcing leases, advising on the

application of the sectional title and sectional

title management acts, the enforcement of 

servitudes, rights of way and the recovery of 

estate agent’s commissions.

We represent clients in corporate insolvencies 

and related claims, delivering strong outcomes 

through experienced litigation strategy. As business 

litigation experts with over 30 years in commercial 

law, we’ve cultivated valuable partnerships with 

insolvency practitioners across the country and internationally.

Our corporate legal strategy services are designed 

to prevent disputes before they arise. We assist 

clients in negotiating and structuring deals that are 

enforceable, clear, and commercially sound — 

always grounded in the realities of litigation.

Our maritime law team is known for its ability to 

manage complex, multi-jurisdictional cases — a vital 

trait in this unique area of high-stakes business 

litigation. We advise on admiralty law, carriage of goods, 

marine insurance, vessel arrests, judicial sales, and 

maritime disputes across borders.

Our team frequently collaborates on corporate 

litigation and international dispute resolution 

with attorneys around the globe. We provide 

litigation support and jurisdictional legal strategy 

for South African matters, as well as correspondent 

services for firms needing representation outside

The Competition Act of 1998 has put in place a 

regulatory framework for the promotion of 

competition and the prohibition of anti-

competitive conduct, restrictive practices 

(such as price fixing, predatory pricing and 

collusive tendering) and abuses by dominant 

firms.

The Competition Commission is responsible 

for investigating and evaluating mergers as 

well as alleged prohibited practices.
