Bowman Gilfillan Africa Group's Pension & Financial Services Regulation team has won the Law Firm of the Year award for the sixth time at the 7th annual Imbasa Yegolide Awards, organised by Batseta Council of Retirement Funds for South Africa.

Our team is the largest, most experienced team of specialist pension lawyers in South Africa.
