HERITAGE LAW
South Africa has a rich treasure of cultural resources that are protected and managed by legislation adopted by all three spheres of government. Whilst our focus is primarily on those regulatory measures that impact on land use- and property development, we also advise clients on the management and protection of movable and intangible heritage resources. Our clients range from property developers to bodies established to promote the protection and sustainable use of heritage resources. Our services include:
-

-
Assisting applicants and heritage consultants with the legal aspects of applications to heritage resources authorities;
-
Drafting objections and appeals to heritage resources authorities on behalf of applicants and interested and affected parties;
-
Liaising on behalf of objectors and interested and affected parties with heritage resources authorities;
-
Representing applicants and interested and affected parties in litigation regarding the management of heritage resources.
