Our firm is managed by a Board of Directors with day-to-day management in the hands of the Executive Committee supported by our Support Services managers.

The firm is organised into three main Practice Groups lead by Practice Group Heads, as well as a Support Service division and Knowledge Centre.

At the centre of it all is the PH Brand, our parent brand.

Under the main brand we have a number of entities providing external client services and strategic internal support services, with entities aligned according to expertise and specific needs and allowing us to offer unique and innovative solutions to our clients. However, irrespective of which PH entity you work with, you have our guarantee of a seamless service experience. 

The PH Group, established in 2006, is the largest association of independent law firms in South Africa. With nearly 52 law firms and more than 60 offices in 9 provinces and over 500 professionals, the group continues to grow year-on-year and expand its presence to major centres across South Africa, cementing it as the largest legal network in South Africa.

The Group was founded by PH Attorneys in response to an identified need of small and medium-sized law firms to form part of a larger organism and so access and benefit from economies of scale and shared resources and capabilities. The result was the creation of the PH Group - a legal network specifically created for firms operating in a South African environment.

The Group addresses the strategic need of firms to transform, increase their firm visibility and differentiation in their regions, access quality support services, enhance their negotiating power, leverage cost reductions and position themselves strategically for growth.

Member firms are carefully selected and are dynamic and prominent law firms in their respective territories with members subscribing to group values, standards and best practices. As a member, firms can access a range of benefits, vital support services, business advisory and development support, and strategic partnerships that create value, cost savings and business opportunities for member firms. The group brand supports individual firm brands and through annual standard certification by the Group as well as Group campaigns, differentiates member firms.

Member firms have access to the national service directory and broad range of experts in the Group which, together with the geographical footprint of member offices, enable firms to effectively serve clients and provide opportunities for legal graduates and professionals.

Access to Justice Unit
Legal support where it’s needed most

At PH Attorneys, we believe that the law should serve everyone, not only those who can afford it. Our Access to Justice Unit was established to provide meaningful legal support to communities where access is limited or out of reach.

Many individuals face real legal challenges without sufficient resources or guidance to navigate them. Our firm's value of Caring for our communities includes a deep-rooted belief in justice and accountability, and it is also our responsibility to help and respond to this need.

Our work in action
The launch of our first Justice Centre in Kathu, as a first-of-its-kind virtual legal community support initiative, marks the beginning of our response to this need as we also heed the call of the legal fraternity to step up and be part of the solution.

In partnership with Training Portal and its Community Campus in Kathu, the Justice Centre will provide free legal advice to the local community of Kathu, delivered virtually through a private Justice Booth on the campus.

Our Access to Justice Unit staff will provide the community with free legal advice after they have booked a virtual legal consultation.
The Kathu Justice Centre will provide advice on a variety of legal topics, including:

• Family and maintenance matters
• Child rights
• Debt collection and debt counselling
• Criminal matters
• Evictions and housing concerns
• Personal injury and road accident claims
• General civil disputes
• Employment-related issues

More than a service
This initiative is about standing firm in the belief that access to justice builds stronger, more resilient communities. We are proud to walk this path alongside our partners and the people we serve and hope to expand this service to other communities in future.
