Tshaya Mashabela Attorneys Inc. is a boutique law firm in South Africa which specializes in intellectual property (IP) law, labour law, corporate law and commercial law as well as all matters relating to commercial aspects of IP.
Our Value Proposition
- We partner with and provide personalised services to our clients.
- Through our customer-centric approach, we make it our business to understand our clients’ business to ensure that we deliver comprehensive and efficient solutions.
- We continuously attempt to dispel the myth that Intellectual Property (IP) should be utilised solely by blue chip companies. IP is a crucial tool which any company, despite the size, can use to contribute to the success of the company.
- We ensure that our clients are informed and educated after each engagement they have with the Firm.
What Motivates Us
- IP is still not prioritised, valued, and used to support most organisations’ business objectives. Therefore, the challenge we face is in creating awareness of the importance of IP, and corporate and commercial law matters relating to IP. We attempt to address this through continual training that we provide to our clients.
- IP is a scarce and specialised field which requires extensive on-the-job training. We address this shortage of skills through our recruitment of juniors, whom we mentor to the level where they can contribute to the Firm’s success and their personal career development.
- Tshaya Mashabela Attorneys is motivated by helping small businesses that, through innovation, grow to become blue chip companies. We pride ourselves in forming long lasting relationships with these companies and in being able to assist them to navigate commercial and corporate law issues that are in most cases, the downfall of SMEs that lack legal resources.
