We are about People Empowerment, Integrity and the Rule of Law.

We offer monthly retainers to companies that want ongoing legal support. Contact us and we will discuss what fits your business.

We do not offer monthly legal cover or subscription plans to individuals. We take on a matter when you need help with it, and fees are charged per matter under a written letter of engagement. If you want ongoing cover for future legal costs, look at legal expense insurance, which several insurers in Namibia offer for a monthly premium.

Complete the enquiry form on this site or email , or call the office nearest you. We will ask a few questions about your matter, check that we can help and that there is no conflict of interest, and set up a consultation. If we take on the matter, we send you a letter of engagement setting out the scope of work and our fees before any work starts.

Namibia’s Financial Intelligence Act requires us to identify and verify every client. When we open your file, we email you a secure link to ID Today, where you complete our client information form online and upload your documents. If you prefer, our staff can complete the form with you and send it to you to check and sign.

Individuals usually provide:

• a copy of your ID or passport
• proof of residential address, such as a municipal bill or rental agreement
• your income tax registration certificate
• if you are married, your marriage certificate (and antenuptial contract, if you have one)
• if someone acts on your behalf, their ID and a power of attorney

Companies usually provide their registration documents (CM1, CM22, CM46 and CM29), the beneficial ownership form stamped by BIPA, share certificates or a status report showing the shareholding, a bank confirmation letter, tax and VAT certificates, ID copies of the directors and shareholders, and a resolution authorising the person who instructs us.

Close corporations provide their founding statement (CC1 or CC2) and members’ details. Trusts provide the trust deed, the trust registration certificate and details of the founder, trustees and beneficiaries. Partnerships provide the partnership agreement or a sworn declaration by the partners, and associations their constitution.

For some matters, such as litigation or debt collection, we may need less. We will tell you exactly what applies to your matter.

The Financial Intelligence Act requires us to ask every client to declare, in writing, the source of their income and of the money used in the transaction. Depending on the matter, we may also ask for proof, such as your latest payslip and three months’ bank statements, or a consultancy agreement if you earn fees. Companies and other entities provide similar proof for the business.

Every law firm in Namibia must do this. It does not mean we suspect you of anything, and we handle your information in line with our privacy policy. We cannot finalise a transaction, such as a property transfer or company registration, until this is complete, so sending your documents early avoids delays.

Your ID or passport, and any documents related to your matter, such as contracts, letters, court papers, title deeds, payslips or emails.

No. Filling in the form or emailing us does not create an attorney–client relationship, and we cannot give legal advice until we have formally taken on your matter. Please keep your first message short and leave out sensitive details until we have consulted with you by telephone, email or in person.

Our charges depend on the type of matter and the work involved. We discuss them with you and agree them upfront, in writing, before any work starts. For property transfers and bond registrations, the calculator on this site gives an estimate of our fees.

Yes, a consultation fee applies. We will tell you the amount before your consultation is confirmed.

Yes. For most matters we ask for a deposit before any work is undertaken. This covers the initial consultation fees and other costs, such as court filing or deeds office fees. You receive monthly invoices and statements of account as the matter progresses.

No. We do not offer instalment arrangements. Fees are payable as set out in your letter of engagement.

We prefer payment by EFT into our trust account. We do not accept cash payments of more than N$5,000 at our offices. If you need to pay a larger amount in cash, please speak to the lawyer handling your matter first.

You may qualify for legal aid from the Directorate of Legal Aid in the Ministry of Justice, which assists people who cannot afford private legal representation. The Legal Assistance Centre may also be able to help with some matters, if they are in the public interest.

Please see our Services section for the legal services we offer.

We do not generally practise criminal law. For existing clients, we can assist by referring the matter to suitable collaborating attorneys. Otherwise, the Law Society of Namibia can help you find a criminal law practitioner.

Yes. We have offices in Windhoek, Ongwediva and Walvis Bay, and we act for clients across Namibia. Much of the work can be handled by email and phone, with meetings at our offices or virtually, whichever is most convenient for you.

Yes. We act for clients abroad in all kinds of legal matters. See also our international networks.

We help individuals and businesses with the legal side of a business throughout its life:

• Starting: registering companies, close corporations and trusts
• Running: contracts, shareholder matters, compliance and regulatory questions
• Closing: deregistration and winding up

This usually involves one or more of advice, drafting, reviewing documents, and regulatory applications or filings.

Yes. We register companies and trusts, and help with shelf companies, shareholder agreements and commercial contracts, including for foreign investors setting up in Namibia.

Please give us:

• a few proposed names for the company
• a short description of the business activities
• details and documents for the shareholders, directors and officers
• whether you also need help with extras such as opening a bank account or tax registration

We usually ask for a deposit of about 30% before we start, to cover the application fees. The exact amount depends on the matter and is confirmed in writing.

As a guide, drafting a standard trust deed costs about N$15,000. It can be more or less depending on your instructions.

Registering the trust costs roughly N$8,000 to N$25,000, depending on how many trustees and beneficiaries we prepare documents for and whether you need extra help, such as opening a bank account, tax registration or advice on the right type of trust.

We confirm the exact fees in writing before we start.

It depends on the length and complexity of the contract, and on whether you want advice only or want us to draft or change the contract as well.

Send the contract, or a short description of what you need, to or through the enquiry form, and we will give you a quote in writing before any work starts.

Not generally. We advise on legal requirements such as beneficial ownership compliance and company filings, but we do not take on day-to-day company secretarial duties like corporate governance, record-keeping, or board and meeting administration.

Yes. We draft wills and keep the signed original in safe custody in our protocol.

Yes. We certify copies and act as commissioners of oaths.

You are welcome to walk in during office hours to have copies certified or an affidavit commissioned. There is no charge for this. Bring the original documents with you.

We do not issue government documents such as birth certificates or ID documents. Those come from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Approximately 21 to 30 working days once all documents and payments are in place. It also depends on the third parties involved, such as the deeds office, the transfer or bond attorneys, or the bank where a bond is to be registered.

Read the documents carefully, then contact a lawyer straight away. We will explain your options and, if you want to oppose the claim, we can do that for you.

The time to respond is short and is set out in the summons. If you miss it, the court can give judgment against you without hearing your side, so do not wait.

We charge litigation at hourly rates, which differ depending on the seniority of the lawyer working on your matter. The total depends on how much work the case needs and whether it is opposed.

We set out our rates in your letter of engagement before any work starts, and ask for a deposit upfront.

It depends on the type of matter and whether the other side opposes it. Unopposed matters are usually finalised much faster than opposed ones. We will give you a realistic idea once we know the facts of your case.

It depends on the court order. If the court grants costs in your favour, you can recover legal costs from the other side.

A costs order usually covers only part of what you pay your own lawyer, so do not count on getting everything back.

Yes. If you would like us to try to resolve it out of court first, tell us and we will try to negotiate a settlement with the other side before going to court.

At the consultation you brief us on your matter, and we run a conflict check to make sure we can act for you.

If we can, we ask you to complete our client information form and provide the required documents (see what you need to open a file), along with all the documents relevant to your dispute, such as contracts, letters, emails and invoices.

Yes, for amounts of N$25,000 or more. We do not take on collection matters below N$25,000.

Most collection work is charged as a fixed fee for each stage of the matter, such as issuing summons, obtaining judgment or a writ of execution, or drafting a settlement or acknowledgement of debt. These charges will be provided to you when you confirm your consultation.

If the debtor defends the claim, the work is billed as a litigation matter, as it has to go through the court process. Again, these charges will be discussed with you at the consultation.

To get started, contact us.

We cannot give a fixed timeline. It depends on things like whether the debtor is willing to settle or disputes the debt, and whether we know where the debtor is.

As much as you have, including:

• where the debtor lives or works, with a physical address
• contact details, such as phone numbers and email
• employment details
• all documents relating to the debt, such as the contract, invoices, statements and any messages

We do not trace debtors ourselves. If the debtor cannot be found, we can use a professional tracing agent on your instruction.

Yes, including uncontested divorces and matters where one spouse lives outside Namibia.

An uncontested divorce usually takes about two months and, as a guide, costs roughly N$11,000. We confirm the exact fee in writing before we start with the matter.

A contested divorce takes longer, depending on the issues in dispute. It is charged at hourly rates, so we cannot give the total cost upfront.

Yes. We assist with maintenance, custody and access, and protection orders.

It depends on the type of contract you need. As a guide, a simple antenuptial contract costs about N$3,500, and a more complex one about N$5,000.

It must be signed before the wedding, so contact us well before the date.

Yes. It requires an application to court, which we can bring for you.
