Our legal team is committed to upholding the values of democracy, accountability, transparency, and the rule of law.
What Is Constitutional Law?
Constitutional law governs the structure, function, and powers of the state and sets out the fundamental rights and freedoms of all people living in South Africa. It is the supreme law of the land—meaning all laws, policies, and conduct must align with the Constitution.
Key components include:
● The Bill of Rights (Chapter 2)
● Principles of legality, equality, and human dignity
● Separation of powers and judicial independence
● Procedural fairness and administrative justice
● Co-operative governance between spheres of government
Our firm has experience addressing a wide range of constitutional challenges, from socio-economic rights to freedom of expression and access to justice.
