Business lawyers help companies and owners set things up properly and avoid disputes later. That includes registering companies with CIPC, drafting contracts and shareholders agreements, buying or selling a business, franchising and compliance with laws such as the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and POPIA.
Company registrations, trade marks and patents are filed with the CIPC online, so a firm anywhere in the country can handle them. Contract disputes go to the magistrate's court or the High Court depending on the amount. The High Court for Northcliff is the Gauteng Division of the High Court, which sits in Johannesburg (about 10 km away).
You can register a company yourself on the CIPC website. A lawyer is useful for the shareholders agreement and Memorandum of Incorporation, which decide how the business is run.
Typically how decisions are made, how shares can be sold, what happens if a shareholder leaves or dies, and how disputes are resolved.
