Commercial Law
Commercial law is a broad term that covers a multitude of interconnected fields of law such as corporate law, intellectual property law and consumer protection law, to name a few. However, at its core, commercial law regulates the conduct of persons, merchants and businesses who are engaged in trade, sales and commerce.
Copyright
Copyright is a type of intellectual property (IP) that protects an original work of authorship as soon as the author reduces the work into a material form. In copyright law, there are many different types of works, including artistic works (portraits, photographs, paintings etc), literary works (poems, textbooks, magazines etc), musical works (musical notations etc), sound recordings, cinematographic films, computer programs and more.

Debt Collection
Debt collection describes the activities involved in recovering monies which are overdue from individuals or businesses. Debt collection can be more difficult than it seems due to the multitude of legal processes and procedural requirements which can become necessary for collection.
Designs
The effect of registration of a design is to grant to the registered proprietor in the Republic, for the duration of the registration, the right to exclude other persons from making, importing, using or disposing of any article included in the class in which the design is registered and embodying the registered design or a design not substantially different from the registered design.
Domain Names & Disputes
Domain names share many similarities with trade marks. Essentially, a domain name is the presence and representation of one’s trade mark online as well as a contact channel. Although domains do not provide enforceable rights as such, they can be used to determine common law rights and the extent thereof.
Estates
Once you have passed on your estate needs to wound up. This means that all of your assets and liabilities are liquidated and distributed in accordance with your Last Will and Testament. Although simple in concept, the process can be extremely technical and has many steps. At Rademeyer Attorneys we are able to wind up the estate and ease the process.
Family Law
Family law, as the name suggests, deals with legal matters relating to a family and other domestic relations. This includes but is not limited to:
- marriages, civil unions and domestic partnerships (including antenuptial contracts)
- dissolution of marriages and similar relationships
- parental rights and responsibilities (including maintenance, care and contact)
- adoption
- paternity
- child protection proceedings
Internet / Cyber Law
Internet law, otherwise known as cyber law, is an ever-changing field of law which determines the rules and regulations of the use of the internet through electronic means such as computers, cell phones and software.
Labour Law
Labour law is the field of law concerned with regulating the relationships between different role players in the working environment. Due to the nature of relationships in the workplace, there is the potential for an imbalance of power held by certain role players. Labour law regulates this imbalance and resolves disputes which may arise between role players.
Lease & Rental Disputes
Rental and lease disputes may seem simple in concept; however, they can quickly become confusing and overwhelming. At Rademeyer Attorneys we help you navigate complicated fall outs and ensure that you comply with the applicable laws and regulations relating to the subsistence and termination of lease agreements.
Patents
A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention. In other words, it is an exclusive right to a product or a process that offers a new technical solution to a problem. A patent grants the owner thereof the right to stop others from making, using, exercising, disposing of, offering to dispose of and importing the invention.
Plant Breeders' Rights
Plant Breeders’ Rights are used to protect new varieties of plants. A plant breeders’ right is legally enforceable and gives the owner the exclusive rights to commercially use the variety, sell the variety, and receive royalties from the sale of plants, direct the production, sale and distribution of the variety.
Trade Marks
A trade mark is a badge of origin, a guarantee of quality and an inherent deciding factor in every purchasing decision one makes. A trade mark is an intangible asset used (or proposed to be used) by a person in relation to goods or services for the purpose of distinguishing the goods or services in relation to which the mark is used (or proposed to be used) from the same kind of goods or services connected in the course of trade with any other person.
Wills
A will is a document which regulates the dissolution of your estate when you pass on. A will is the most certain way to ensure that your wishes are carried out, and your loved ones are taken care of once deceased. At Rademeyer Attorneys we assist with drafting of wills to ensure that wishes are respected and protected.
