How much will professional indemnity insurance (PII) cost? This is one of the questions I often get from aspiring law firm owners. The answer? It depends. The cost of PII can vary significantly based on the area of law you practice, and the specific risks involved. For example, the risk in immigration law is typically much lower compared to conveyancing, where handling large client funds increases both the risk and the cost of insurance. If you are planning to start a law firm, your best move is to speak with an insurance broker about PII. While they may not be able to give you an exact number straight away as they would need to consider your business plan, projected turnover, and the specific risks related to both you and your practice area - they should be able to provide a useful ballpark figure based on your situation. They may even point out risks or potential issues that you have not yet considered, based on what you share with them. #ABECLegal #ImmigrationLawyer #lawfirmfounder

Even in this day and age, many people in the country do not have a legally valid will when they pass away. This means that in the eyes of the law, this person passes away 'intestate'. Many of us know that having a last will and testament helps those that remain to handle your personal responsibilities and wishes in the ways you'd have wanted. Without an up to date Will, your affairs fall into the Intestate Succession Act and may not unfold exactly as you would have liked them to. Once a will is setup and complies with legal requirements, it must be kept safely along with all the necessary documents that apply to each mentioned asset, including investments, life insurance policies and property. It is crucial to have a proper will and testament drafted by a qualified attorney with the necessary knowledge and expertise to ensure that your will is valid and complies with your wishes.⁠ ⁠ Speak to us about holistic estate planning today. 📜🧑🏽⚖️⁠ ☎️ 012-330-0025⁠ 📧 [email protected]⁠ ⁠🌐 www.mahumaniinc.co.za⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #lasttestimant #will #estateplanning #law #mahumaniinc #lawfirmpretoria #lawfirmpolokwane #lawyersouthafrica #lawyerpretoria #lawyerspretoria #attorneys #legaladvisepretoria #litigationlawyerspretoria #litigationlawyerssouthafrica #legaladvise #mahumaniincorporated #testament #will #mahumanincorporated⁠

There is a skill to litigation that we don't talk about a lot. When we talk about whether to sue a case or appeal a lower court decision, usually we are focused on the result of that specific case. I would argue that we should also at least consider the long terms effects of any potentially bad decision, especially if we have a case with bad facts combined with uncertain law. I see this in immigration all the time. Bad facts combined with uncertain law lead to decisions that go against immigrants in the future. Almost every written decision ends up in Lexis, Westlaw, or some other legal database, especially appellate decisions. And even if that case doesn't have precedential value, it could certainly have persuasive value which could turn into a precedential decision later. The ability to look ahead is even more valuable if we tend to litigate a lot in a specific area, e.g., immigration, insurance, personal injury. This isn't to say that you don't go ahead even with bad facts or bad law. You represent the client you have in front of you now, not some speculative client in the future. But, especially if you represent clients that frequently litigate, it is worth a conversation.

Protecting your business from legal risks starts with clear contracts, proper insurance, and good communication with clients. When in doubt, consult a legal professional.
