Our Story

A Dynamic Law Firm
Committed to Justice

Madima M Attorneys Incorporated is a law firm registered and established in accordance with the Law Society of the Northern Provinces regulated by the Attorneys Act, 1979 (Act No. 53 of 1979), now the Legal Practice Council governed by the Legal Practice Act 28 of 2014. The firm was established by Mr. Maanda Madima, the Director and practising attorney with right of appearance in the Superior Courts.

We practice and specialize in the areas of Corporate/Commercial Law, Civil litigation at both the Lower and Higher Courts, Employment Law and Litigation. The firm boasts a wide range of individual and corporate clients such as Thulamela Local Municipality and the University of Venda.

We are uniquely positioned to appreciate the obstacles facing many of our clients, primarily because some members of our executive have personally faced similar challenges and injustices. Our approach focuses on improving the current legal imbalance in our justice system, by taking into account the intricacies of different customs, indigenous languages and cultures.
