Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Immigration Law Series | Frequently asked questions by employers about immigration compliance in South Africa
Q: What about the employee who was found to be in possession of a fraudulent visa or permit? What are the consequences for such a person?
Individuals found with fraudulent visas or permits may be declared prohibited persons and banned from entering South Africa, with an indefinite prohibition unless the Minister of Home Affairs removes the status for good cause.
Immigration Law Series | Frequently asked questions by employers about immigration compliance in South Africa
Q: What liability, if there is any at all, would an employer incur if one of their employees is found to be in possession of a fraudulent visa or permit, or where an employee is found to have no work visa or permit?
Section 49 of the Immigration Act outlines offences for contravening the Act, which could lead to the employer paying fines or facing imprisonment upon conviction, with directors or HR personnel potentially being liable.
Clause & Effect Podcast Series | Think you know mergers and acquisitions?
Q: What is the benefit of involving lawyers early in the process, and what can go wrong if they're brought in too late?
Early legal involvement shapes the entire deal, helps anticipate regulatory and tax considerations, and prevents wasted time by avoiding last-minute restructures; bringing lawyers in from the start speeds up process and reduces risk of deal failure.
Clause & Effect Podcast Series | Think you know mergers and acquisitions?
Q: Why is due diligence more than a tick-box exercise, and how does it protect value in the long term?
Due diligence provides the buyer with insight into exactly what is being purchased, reveals hidden risks that can affect price or terms, and allows the legal team to tailor warranties and indemnities to reallocate risk, thereby protecting value over the life of the deal.
Clause & Effect Podcast Series | Think you know mergers and acquisitions?
Q: How can you reframe the perception that M&A is only for large corporations, and is it relevant for mid-sized or small businesses?
M&A is common at the mid-market and small business level, not just the flashy mega-deals; the fundamentals—due diligence, deal structuring, and risk assessment—apply across sizes, and M&A can facilitate growth, succession planning, and expansion for smaller firms.
