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."
