Protimos uses the law to create and ensure economic growth. Healthy legal systems, accessible to all, provide marginalised communities with opportunities to prosper; they entice inward investment, and underpin democracy. The Rule of Law is a new Sustainable Development Goal, reflecting global acceptance of its vital role in the reduction of poverty, and the development of prosperous democracies.

Protimos promotes the rule of law thereby enabling mutually beneficial relationships between local communities and the private sector to develop.

We support the professional development of local lawyers who serve their own communities. In so doing, we develop sustainable legal resources that enable communities to become active and effective participants in their own futures.

At the same time we establish corporate certainty and, through targeted negotiation and litigation, generate wealth in communities across Southern Africa. Protimos’ work therefore lays the foundation for local economies to thrive.

Lawyer Nkoti Reitumetse delivers news of a recent judgment to community members.
