About The Legal Rights Initiative

Legalrights.co.za is an initiative by South African Law Centre, a registered non-profit organization (Registration No.: 2010/008904/21) that was founded to provide affordable quality legal services and advice at set fees, as far as possible. An established panel network of attorneys that accept the aforesaid ethos enables such assistance to be provided nationwide. The South African Law Centre was founded by well-known consumer law activists and Attorneys of the High Court of South Africa, Nicky Campbell and Stephen Logan.

Affordable Legal Help

As far as possible, legal fees are set and disclosed upfront once a preliminary assessment has been done to assess whether legal assistance can in fact be provided and the necessity thereof. If legal assistance is to be provided, the fee and it’s payment terms are agreed upfront and deduced to writing. Generally, the option of paying the legal fee off monthly, by way of debit mandate, is made available at no extra cost.
