About us

Caveat Legal is a panel of expert attorneys who work as consultants to small and medium sized businesses, corporates, banks and law firms; either in-house or remotely; and on a contract/project basis. Our panel members are sourced predominantly from South Africa's top law firms, where most have worked at associate- or partner-level in one or more of the main commercial fields of law. They choose to work as consultants rather than employees at firms because consulting offers them more flexibility in their working hours and greater autonomy over their practice of law. Because they carry no overheads, Caveat Legal consultants are able to charge rates that are less than half of the rates charged for their services by law firms. Our panel members work in teams or on their own, and for a defined project (eg: a transaction or contract) or a defined period (eg: to fill in for someone on maternity leave). They work as independent contractors, so do not become our clients' employees. Our panel members are available to provide training on compliance with legislation (eg: Consumer Protection Act, Income Tax Act, Companies Act, Labour Relations Act and legislation relating to energy and sustainability). We also make our junior panel members available to work as consultants to law firms (eg: to handle temporary increases in work load) as well as to local legal process outsourcing (LPO) providers.

    Energy law in South Africa regulates the procurement, generation, and distribution of energy, primarily overseen by NERSA. NERSA regulates electricity, piped gas, and petroleum pipelines, ensuring energy supply security, investment in infrastructure, and affordability. Key stakeholders include the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), NERSA, and Eskom. The National Energy Act 34 of 2008 promotes sustainable energy, efficiency, and renewable energy development. Energy projects often require a multidisciplinary legal approach, involving commercial, environmental, and project finance law to ensure regulatory compliance and successful execution. #caveat #legal #law #EnergyLaw
