RW Kruger and Associates Inc operates in accordance with the Legal Practice Act 28 of 2014, the Rules of the Legal Practice Council, applicable Codes of Conduct, and all related statutory and regulatory obligations.
The firm may offer a limited subscription-based legal access service, intended solely to provide general legal information, preliminary guidance, and legal literacy support.
Subscription services do not constitute legal representation, do not create an attorney-client relationship, and do not include the conduct of litigation or formal legal work.
Where a matter requires legal representation, litigation, or formal advisory work, the firm conducts conflict checks, FICA verification, and mandate assessment prior to accepting instructions.
Only upon acceptance of a formal mandate and execution of a written fee agreement does an attorney-client relationship arise.
Subscription fees are treated as business income and are not deposited into the trust account. Trust accounts are utilised strictly in accordance with the Legal Practice Act and only where client funds are received in relation to an accepted mandate.
The firm applies a risk-based approach in terms of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act. Client due diligence is conducted at appropriate stages, with enhanced measures applied where legally required.
This structure ensures transparency, auditability, ethical compliance and access to legal knowledge within lawful bounds.
