VDM Attorneys
VDM renders professional legal, commercial and collections services. We take a holistic view of the client’s business and requirements to craft solutions with the client. We like to establish long term relationships with clients and become familiar with the specific nuances at play in the relevant industry.

Good governance and compliance is fundamental and VDM enables clients to align their current business processes and documentation with applicable legislation such as the Protection of Personal Information Act, the Consumer Protection Act, the National Credit Act as amended, the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, the Medical Schemes Act and the Income Tax Act. VDM also assists clients to establish companies and to bring their registration documents in line with the new Companies Act. VDM drafts and advises on a wide range of general commercial transactions and contracts. These include the structuring of large commercial transactions, the interpretation and enforcement of various types of agreements, sales of business, software development agreements, purchase and sale agreements, sale of business agreements, building contracts, agency agreements, commercial lease agreements, suretyships and various types of trust and company documents. VDM provides litigation services to international companies and several listed companies in South Africa. We have also been successfully involved in matters heard in the Constitutional Court, Highest Court of Appeal, the High Court and Labour Court, Magistrates Court as well as various other tribunals and bodies established in terms of legislation. We have extensive experience in matters relating to property rights, tax and commercial law. VDM provides specialised services to various small to medium businesses, and certain high net worth individuals. We act as the sole legal counsel for some of these clients who have decided to retain our services for extensive periods of time and where we become involved in ensuring that the implementation of the legal strategy is monitored on an ongoing basis. We also provide conveyancing and notarial services. Processes: VDM is capable of dealing with large volumes of instructions and has established infrastructure such as IT, call centre and trained staff that can assist clients with process driven requirements. Some examples of the types of processes that VDM is capable of assisting with are bulk collection services, legal helpdesks, verification of debtors’ contact details or outstanding balances, sms campaigns and any other aspect of a client’s business that could require the use of such an infrastructure. VDM’s collections and legal expertise are often combined to ensure that clients obtain the best possible solution - we have assisted our collection clients in the drafting and vetting of their policies, processes and business agreements and in the creation of contract management systems. Our counsel and advice has resulted in such companies improving their collections before handover and their chances of recovering bad debt when debtors default. VDM is able to determine the legal requirements and has the backing, experience and professionalism to execute any agreed process or solution professionally.
