What we do

Legal, governance and compliance work, done properly.

Drafting, opinions, policy, contracts, information governance, compliance, workplace, company secretarial and board advisory — for statutory councils, public entities, non-profit organisations, funded companies and SMEs across South Africa.

What we do

Nine service lines, one senior adviser.

The person you brief is the person who does the work.

01

Legislative & regulatory drafting

The specialism the practice was built on — rules, codes, regulations and the mandate, consultation and gazetting process that makes them valid.

Open the service →
02

Legal opinions

Formal written opinions a board, council or executive can rely on and file — and the empowering-provision analysis that has to come before anything is drafted.

Open the service →
03

Policy drafting

38 policy instruments across governance, ethics, finance, information, people and operations: what each does, how it is drafted, and the defect that most often makes it unenforceable.

Open the service →
04

Contract drafting

27 instruments, the statute behind each one, and the defect that most often makes it unenforceable. Written so that you can judge the knowledge before you buy it.

05

Governance & board advisory

Delegations, charters, terms of reference, King V transition and board evaluation — as a fixed-fee project with a defined end, not an open retainer.

Open the service →
06

Regulatory & compliance strategy

Which statutes and regulators actually apply, who owns each obligation, and what evidence proves it was met — written so a board, a funder or an inspector can follow it.

Open the service →
07

POPIA, PAIA compliance

Readiness programmes, enforcement-notice remediation, operator registers, breach procedures and section 51 manuals — built so that a compliance claim is provable rather than asserted.

Open the service →
08

Workplace & conduct

Independent chairing, professional-conduct inquiries, CCMA strategy and employment instruments — all built around the document a commissioner will read afterwards.

Open the service →
09

Company secretarial practice

Registers current, meetings papered, filings made on time, and someone to tell the board when something is about to go wrong — without a full-time appointment.

Scope, stated plainly. MBM Valkyrie Advisory provides its services in an independent advisory capacity. It is not a firm of practising attorneys and does not conduct a legal practice for its own account. It does not undertake reserved or trust-based legal work — no court appearances, no litigation, no conveyancing, no notarial work, no administration of estates — and it offers no accredited or credit-bearing training and no audit or assurance. Its director is enrolled with the Legal Practice Council as a non-practising legal practitioner. Where a matter needs any of those, we say so at the outset and refer it. Advice is given only under a signed engagement letter.
