Speaking to Africa Legal last month ahead of pioneering African law firm Deneys' full brand launch following its return to independence, CEO Brent Botha said creating opportunities for talented lawyers to grow, lead, and shape the future of the profession was a priority for the firm. “Transformation is a core strategic commitment, and as Deneys we strive to build a firm that reflects the diversity and talent of the profession and the society it serves," said Botha. "We will continue investing in our people and in building a firm where the next generation of legal leaders can thrive."

That investment is on show today with the promotion of five new Senior Associates, who each joined the firm in 2021-2023, and span various practice areas and offices.

In the second of his firm’s new ‘Local Insights from Zimbabwe’ series with Africa Legal, Simbarashe addresses the meaning of corporate rescue, how it is open to abuse, the legal mechanisms for stakeholder protection, and its desirability over liquidation: https://www.africa-legal.com/local-insights/zimbabwe-insights-corporate-rescue-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/126247
