The company owes you money. The bank account is empty. The director isn't.

Can't you just sue the director?

Sometimes yes, but usually not for the reasons people expect.

On 21 November, a day before the world’s most powerful leaders gather in Johannesburg for the G20 Summit, South African civil society will take a stand of a different kind.

Women for Change is calling for a nationwide shutdown - not a protest, but a refusal to carry on with “business as usual” in a country where a woman is murdered every 2.5 hours.

The message is clear: until South Africa declares Gender-Based Violence a National Disaster, there can be no meaningful discussion of progress or development.

NVDB Attorneys will be standing in solidarity with this shutdown, joining lie-downs and calling attention to this national crisis.

We invite all professionals and firms to reflect on the gravity of this moment - and to take action where they can.

Planning for your retirement in South Africa? 📌 While rumours have circulated about changes to the national retirement age in November 2025, the reality is this: there is no universal mandatory retirement age.

In the private sector, retirement age is set by your contract or pension fund rules; in the public sector, for members of the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF), the normal retirement age remains 60.

Read our article to understand what this means for you - and how to take proactive steps.

⚖️ “Just following orders” is not a defence.

A recent Labour Court case has made it clear: employees cannot hide behind instructions from superiors when those orders are unlawful.

Integrity in the workplace is non-negotiable - whether you’re a bank employee handling cash or a candidate attorney under pressure from your principal.

In our latest article, we explore the case of Mbuyane v Dekker NO and Others and the broader question: what happens when your career - or future as an attorney - depends on saying yes to the wrong order?

For decades, many spouses - especially homemakers and caregivers - have walked away from marriages with little financial protection. That’s about to change.

The 2025 Divorce Law reforms will allow courts to ensure a fairer division of assets, even in out of community of property marriages. This marks a big step toward recognising that marriage is more than just finances - it’s a partnership of contributions, in many forms.
