Last year NSDV announced a 70% women-led legal team and with seven new appointments this year, the firm maintains it’s exceptional status as a women-led team in a male dominated industry. “As a woman who employs other women within male-dominated fields, I want to tip the scales when I can, but we are not specifically trying to build a women-only firm. The women I work alongside are the most capable, creative, and collaborative lawyers I’ve ever worked with. Our work with our clients should be the story - and until it is, we continue celebrating our unique position in the market,” says Lili Nupen Co-founder and Director of Mining and Environmental Departments at NSDV.
The Companies Tribunal is established in terms of the Companies Act and facilitates the resolution of company disputes through conciliation, mediation and arbitration, potentially avoiding lengthy and costly litigation.
