Justice.Clarity.Excellence.
We navigate complexity so you don't have to. CVMA provides fearless, innovative legal representation across South Africa's most demanding areas of law.
Built on reputation. Driven by results.
Clients do not come to us with straightforward matters. They come because our reputation for excellence precedes us, and because they need practitioners who are both deeply knowledgeable and fearlessly committed to their cause.
The firm was founded in 1997 on a single conviction: that the law, applied with precision, passion and integrity, is the most powerful instrument of justice available to any person or organisation. Over more than two decades we have honoured that conviction in every matter we accept.
Cora van der Merwe is a published co-author of a chapter in Legal Ethics in South Africa (LexisNexis), and the firm has contributed numerous articles to De Rebus, the journal of the South African legal profession. Our scholarship reflects our commitment: we do not merely practise the law, we help shape it.
Our attorneys are passionate about justice, transparency and excellence. Finding innovative solutions to complex problems is not our exception. It is our standard.Cora van der Merwe, founder and principal attorney
