Commercial law
If it’s related to contracts, structuring or business compliance – it’s our bag, baby. We do the day to day contracts which keep your business ticking, but we’re also experts in company structuring, M&A and investor readiness.
Data law
If your business collects or uses personal data (and that’s all of us), then data protection laws are applicable to you. Join the hundreds of clients who’ve trusted Legalese to guide them on the journey to data compliance.
Intellectual property law
No matter your business, your intellectual property needs protection. We register trademarks, assist with licences or guide you through protecting your company’s IP practically and safely.
Labour law
A business is as good as its people. Our labour lawyers work with a unique blend between law and HR to ensure our approach to labour contracts, policies and procedures suits your culture.
Regulations and compliance
Whatever business you’re in, there will be regulations. The more out-there your business, the more complex the laws. This is where we come in. We research the law, brainstorm the arguments and draft your terms with certainty. We’re lawyers. We know the law.
we help MODERN COMPANIES WITH LEGAL SOLUTIONS SO THEY CAN GROW LEGALLY AND SAFELY.

Who are we?
Established in 2015, Legalese is a creative legal practice which has redesigned legal services to suit creative, start-up, and tech-based businesses by making them accessible, affordable and understandable. Traditionally, lawyers are called to fix problems. Legalese looks at law differently – we have a fresh approach to law and technology, so that our legal solutions suit your business, team and culture. We are not a law firm. Do not call us when you get arrested.
We are here for one thing – to take care of your business’ legal needs so you can focus on what you do best. Our approach to legal services comes from a mix of practice in corporate law firms, years of experience in the South African creative and tech sectors, and a background in running start-ups. In this way, we speak the language of creativity and law.
