Simplifi Law is a boutique legal advisory in Westcliff, Johannesburg. We combine five decades of legal and corporate finance experience to resolve matters early, quietly and on your terms — before they become expensive.
Most legal disputes are won or lost long before anyone sets foot in a courtroom. Our founding principle is simple: engage the right expertise early, frame the problem honestly, and most conflicts can be resolved faster, cheaper and with relationships intact.
Founded by Hannah Wilson and Gawie Malan — an admitted attorney and advocate with deep family-law and financial expertise, and a commercial lawyer and dealmaker with a career spanning M&A, mining and corporate finance — Simplifi brings courtroom-grade thinking to boardroom-speed decisions.
