Black Economic Empowerment

Our B-BBEE lawyers can help ensure your business is compliant with all aspects of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment.

If you’re operating a business within South Africa then you need to know about Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE). This is a constitutionally mandated objective aimed at economic transformation by increasing the number of black people who participate in the South African economy.

Our lawyers have experience in advising a large number of South African and international businesses seeking to implement Black Economic Empowerment compliance within the legislative framework. As such, we can help ensure your business not only remains compliant but achieves the maximum B-BBEE benefit.

With respect to B-BBEE regulatory compliance, we advise on:

  • the Broad-Based BEE Act
  • the Codes of Good Practice
  • the various Transformation Charters such as the Mining Charter, Financial Services Charter, ICT Charter, and others
  • ownership
  • management and control structures
  • due diligence
  • broad-based schemes and trusts
  • charter and sector code development
  • preferential procurement policies
