The financial services sector is the subject of increased regulatory scrutiny. This includes matters relating to financial institutions, financial products, financial advice, crypto currency, and insurance. Adams & Adams offers various services aimed at supporting clients to navigate the dynamic nature of financial services regulation in South Africa. The financial services regulation team does so in respect of representation, advisory services, and the institution of legal proceedings.
Telecommunications
In South Africa, telecommunications services are regulated by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA). ICASA oversees licensing, spectrum allocation, competition, and consumer protection in the telecom sector. South Africa boasts a thriving telecommunications market, including mobile software, security services and electronic banking. At Adams & Adams we have an expert team to provide legal services in relation to the telecommunications industry, such as contractual disputes and regulatory and licensing compliance.
Parliamentary submissions in South Africa allow citizens to voice their opinions on legislation and matters under consideration by parliamentary committees. These written or oral presentations provide an opportunity for public input, proposing changes or actions to ensure effective laws. Here at Adams & Adams we assist our clients to engage more effectively with the legislative aspects of parliamentary submissions such as presenting submission, policy advocacy and human rights impacts.
At Adams & Adams we provide expert and comprehensive legal guidance and advice on a diverse range of regulatory matters.
