Entertainment & Media Law
West & Rossouw's entertainment & media law department was established in response to a demand for specialised experience in these areas on the part of our existing clients, and the music and entertainment industry as a whole.

We have developed sought-after expertise in the legal minefield of staging large live music events such as the Huisgenoot/You Skouspel music concerts and other established live music events. In addition, we have established good relationships with various role players in the music and recording industry and the firm now represents recording artists, recording labels and studios as well as music and artist agencies and publishers.

Family Law
Being a family business, we are well aware of what a family means to you. The break-up of a marriage can be an extremely daunting and traumatic experience. It does not only drain a person emotionally, but can spark a bitter hatred when material matters are disputed. We understand that these emotional situations arise and are able to give sensitive help at the correct time. Whether you need help with the setting up of an ante-nuptial agreement or advice and guidance in divorce proceedings or custody agreements, our experienced family attorneys are there to provide sound guidance when you need it most.

We care about the family, and we have attorneys who specialise in family law and who are there to assist you with any family and personal legal matters. Family law is a very dynamic area of practice. During the past 10 years significant changes to legislation and common law relevant to family law have occurred. This has impacted on the rights of children, parents and partners in marriage and other relationships.
