THE MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS REVIEW - FIFTH EDITION - SOUTH AFRICA - BY EZRA DAVIDS AND ASHLEIGH HALE
Tuesday, November 08, 2011
South Africa continued to feel the effects of a sluggish global economy, albeit on a more limited basis as compared to the rest of the world. M&A activity started picking up in the early part of 2010 and this trend has continued in the first quarter of 2011. The uptick was more pronounced in cross-border deals in South Africa, inward investment into South Africa and general corporate restructurings. Many of the recent transactions (particularly in the resources sector) involved Chinese, Indian and Japanese parties. There were again relatively few black economic empowerment deals, which for a number of years provided great impetus to the South African M&A market.

APPLYING BEE CODES TO TRUSTS IS A BURNING CONUNDRUM – PRIYESH MODI
Monday, February 04, 2008
BEE Codes of Good Practice are at odds with preferred trust vehicles. It is an anomaly that requires urgent solution, since BEE has dominated merger and acquisition transactions in South Africa over the past decade and is likely to continue doing so.

Pro Bono work by lawyers | attorneys in South Africa
Bowman Gilfillan is proud to be one of the first large commercial firms to develop and implement a comprehensive pro bono policy.  In accordance with this policy we pursue meritorious public-law cases and act for indigent clients in a number of ongoing matters.  As a responsible corporate citizen, Bowman Gilfillan encourages its practitioners to seek to provide legal services to deserving organisations and individuals on a pro bono (free) basis.  A number of pro bono matters have been taken on in a wide variety of fields, from education to healthcare and other social services and partnerships have been established with recognised public interest legal services providers such as the Legal Resources Centre and the Aids Law Project.

Bowman Gilfillan has also entered into an arrangement with CIDA City Campus, particularly in business subjects, in terms of which we prepare the lecture materials for, and present lectures to, their second year students.  We also provide CIDA with legal advice. All of this is done free of any charge, as part of our social responsibility programme.
