Two firms of attorneys, McIntyre & Watkeys and Wiley van der Post, both established in the 19th Century, amalgamated on 1 March 1957 and the new firm, McIntyre & Van der Post came into being. In the subsequent 60-odd years we have grown and developed further, offering an even wider range of legal services. Today we are a large firm of attorneys that specialises in Property, Estates, Collections, Commercial Law, Family Law and General Litigation.
Change calls for innovation. Innovation leads to progress. Concepts that we embrace.
