The start of a new year brings fresh momentum and the opportunity to refocus on what matters most. At Wright Rose-Innes, we enter 2026 with a renewed commitment to the values that have carried our clients forward through changing laws, evolving industries, and a rapidly modernising world. For us, tradition and innovation work together, forming a legal framework that remains timeless in principle and modern in execution.

Proud Achievers of the PH Platinum Status Award

We are proud to share that we have recently been awarded Platinum Achiever status for 2024/25 by the PH Group, in recognition of achieving more than 90% compliance with the Group Standards. The PH Group is the largest legal network in South Africa and supports law firms through shared expertise and collaboration. Central to the network are its Group Standards, built around professional service and designed to raise the quality and consistency of legal services nationally.

These standards focus on:

These standards form the foundation of what it means to be a New Breed Law Firm™: a practice that is well-managed, compliant, ethical, and forward-thinking in its approach. Our Platinum Achiever status confirms our value for strong governance, reliable processes, and service quality that can be measured, not just promised.
