Our ability to cross-reference with other professionals within the firm, such as our corporate and commercial and mergers and acquisitions teams, means our regulatory team is fully equipped to advise corporate clients on all aspects of statutory and regulatory compliance and, in particular, the rules of the Securities Regulation Panel, the Securities Regulation Code and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. The Securities Regulation Panel, established in accordance with the Companies Act No. 61 of 1973, is a body that regulates, as it may deem necessary or appropriate, all affected transactions relating to any public or private company, with a value in excess of R5 million. This Panel formulated the Securities and Regulation Code on Takeovers and Mergers which embodies the general principles and rules governing the matters falling within its jurisdiction.
With over 100 years of experience, ENS offers a level of legal competence that sets a new standard in today’s global market, geographically and in terms of service, skills and breadth and depth of expertise.
