How do we assist
start-ups?

At Günther Attorneys & Conveyancers, we work closely with start-up businesses, solo entrepreneurs and growing SMEs who need legal clarity and compliance from day one. We don’t offer theoretical advice—we put practical legal structures in place to protect your business, your income and your relationships from the start.

If you're launching a new venture or formalising something you've already started, we’ll help you get the essentials in place without overlawyering the process or overwhelming you with jargon.

We advise on and draft key contracts including service agreements, independent contractor agreements, client terms of service, privacy policies, website terms, and refund or cancellation policies. We ensure your paperwork is aligned with South African legislation and tailored to how your business actually operates.

Commercial Contracts

We also help you assess your regulatory exposure and build custom legal frameworks that allow you to operate safely and scale sustainably.

If you're hiring your first team member, working with freelancers, or delivering services to the public, you need proper contracts. We make sure they’re in place, clear, and enforceable.

Whether you need a once-off legal pack or ongoing advisory as your business grows, we offer structured, no-nonsense support that helps you stay compliant and confident.

Let’s build your business on solid legal ground.

Frequently
asked  questions.

Can I use an online template for my contracts?
Plus Icon

You can, but it’s risky. Most templates aren’t aligned with South African law or your specific business model. One vague clause could cost you more than legal fees ever would.

What if I need ongoing legal advice, not just once-off contracts?
Plus Icon

We offer retainer options and ongoing advisory services for SMEs and professionals needing regular input without hiring in-house counsel.

Do I need a contract for freelance or part-time staff?
Plus Icon

Absolutely. Every working relationship should be documented clearly to manage risk, especially around payment, IP, and liability. We draft bespoke agreements suited to your business.

Can I register a company through your firm?
Plus Icon

Yes, we assist with company registration, drafting MOIs, shareholder agreements, and advising on the best structure for your business.
