At Carter Lemon Camerons, our experienced team of solicitors is available to provide English law services to clients in South Africa.

Our head of litigation and arbitration, Seamus Smyth, graduated and qualified as an attorney in South Africa and has maintained a close working relationship with South Africa’s legal profession for many years. He continues to receive referrals and instructions from South African clients directly and from attorneys throughout South Africa, on behalf of clients who need assistance with English legal matters.

Our team takes pride in a friendly, professional, and plain-language approach to the matters brought to us, striving to achieve the best possible outcome for all our clients. We remain sensitive to the funding difficulties clients may face due to the adverse Rand/Pound exchange rate.

Seamus Smyth visits South Africa regularly and welcomes the opportunity to meet clients and attorneys face to face (with a preference, at the weekend, for meetings on a golf course!). Upon request, he is happy to deliver a short, light-hearted overview of the ins and outs for South Africans when instructing English solicitors.

Seamus’s last trip to South Africa was in February 2026.
