About Bowes McDougall Inc

Bowes McDougall was started in Queenstown, now Komani, in March 1988 by Peter Bowes and Tony McDougall. Within a short time it took over several older local practices, De Wet en Kie, Moffat and Du Preez, EL Chisholm and EJ Nurse, and it became an incorporated company in 1994. The current directors are Piet Coetzee, Giel Bester, Maryka Romans and David Thomas, and Elisna Nel is among the attorneys. The firm works from 27a Prince Alfred Street.

The practice covers litigation, conveyancing, estate administration, commercial work and labour law. It has an unusually deep property bench for a country town: four qualified conveyancers, three notaries, a qualified valuer and two appraisers, which means it can value a property as well as transfer it. It is also a member of the 3%.Com Properties franchise group, a national network of attorneys and conveyancers that markets and sells homes and commercial property and then handles the transfer.

Besides the four directors there are further attorneys, a candidate attorney and about 14 secretarial and support staff. The firm says it has trained many candidate attorneys over the years, a good number from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.
