Land Reform
Restoration and restitution of land, land tenure, communal property associations and dispute resolution.
Restoration and restitution of land, land tenure, communal property associations and dispute resolution.
Marivate Attorneys acts in land-reform matters that carry deep significance for communities and individuals. We advise on the restoration and restitution of land, on land-tenure security, and on the establishment and governance of communal property associations.
These matters often involve multiple stakeholders — claimants, the State, traditional authorities and current owners — and we work to move them forward constructively, using alternative dispute resolution where it can achieve a fair and durable outcome.
Our involvement in this field reflects the firm's broader commitment to transformation and to widening access to justice.
