Overview

Garlicke & Bousfield Incorporated is one of South Africa’s leading law firms offering a full range of specialised legal and related services. Situated on La Lucia Ridge, and through its membership of Multilaw in most countries of the world, Garlicke & Bousfield Incorporated is able to provide its clients with expert legal services throughout South Africa and the rest of the world. In 1867 Harry Escombe, who was later to become one of the leading figures in the Colony of Natal, established the firm that is today Garlicke & Bousfield. When Escombe gave up private practice to become Attorney-General and then Prime Minister in the late 19th century, the firm continued under the names of his erstwhile partner, Thomas Garlicke, and his son-in law, Henry Richings Bousfield. Recognised, since its inception, as a leading law firm, Garlicke & Bousfield now has a professional staff of 39, of whom 19 are directors, and a support staff of approximately 90. The challenges of the 21st century are profoundly different from those that faced the firm more than 150 years ago but our mission now is the same as it was then: to serve our clients' needs with legal excellence, efficiency and integrity. From our home on the hill at La Lucia Garlicke & Bousfield offers a wide range of expertise in all facets of the law
