Correspondent support with the instruction kept clear.
Practical assistance with issuing process, filing and service of court documents, court appearances and reporting to the instructing attorney.
Trusted legal hands where the court step must happen.
If a person’s main attorney is in another town and a court task must be completed in the Free State, that attorney may instruct a local correspondent. The correspondent attends to the agreed local step and reports back; the instructing attorney ordinarily remains the client’s main point of contact.
Close to the Supreme Court of Appeal.
The firm’s central Bloemfontein location places it within the same court precinct as one of South Africa’s key appellate courts.
From Office 306 to the court precinct.
