Fixed Fee Arrangement
The legal fraternity is infamous for being extremely costly, with lawyers traditionally charging clients for every email, letter and phone call undertaken to resolve a matter. Hourly rates can be extremely exorbitant and lets be honest no one wants to be hit with an unexpected bill at the back end of a service.
To save our clients money we take a preliminary look at the matter, determining what tasks will be necessary for completion to determine if fixed fees are applicable and the extent thereof.
We focus on building relationships not billing the relationship.

Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is a form of payment that can be exchanged online for goods and services. Cryptocurrencies work using a technology called blockchain.
Digital Currency / Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is a digital payment system that doesn’t rely on banks to verify transactions. It’s a peer-to-peer system that can enable anyone anywhere to send and receive payments. Instead of being physical money that is carried around and exchanged in the real world, cryptocurrency payments exist purely as digital entries to an online database that describe specific transactions. When you transfer cryptocurrency funds, the transactions are recorded in a public ledger. You store your cryptocurrency in a digital wallet.
South Africa is preparing to regulate cryptocurrencies while the South African Revenue Service (SARS) is reportedly sending taxpayers audit requests, asking those who have held cryptocurrencies to disclose their trading activity.
Cryptocurrencies are now considered as a “financial instrument” in terms of the Income Tax Act.
