Before You Send Your Enquiry
A Few Things to Know First
- Give only a brief, non-confidential description of your matter.
- Please don't send confidential documents before we've confirmed we can assist.
- Identify any urgent deadlines or scheduled court proceedings clearly.
- Submitting an enquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- We may need to conduct a conflict check before discussing details further.
- If you need urgent court or emergency assistance, please telephone the relevant office directly rather than relying only on this form.
Get in Touch
Request an Initial Consultation
Tell us briefly about your matter and select the office or area of law most relevant to you. Submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please avoid sending confidential or time-sensitive documents before we've confirmed engagement and completed a conflict check.
What Happens Next
What Happens After You Contact Us
Enquiry Review
We review your office choice, legal area, the parties involved, urgency and basic suitability.
Conflict Check
We determine whether our professional obligations allow us to discuss or accept the matter.
Consultation Arrangements
If appropriate, we confirm the available professional, consultation format and any applicable fee.
Formal Engagement
Representation begins once our engagement, identification and mandate requirements are completed.
Urgent Matters
If Your Matter Is Urgent
If you are facing a court date, a prescription period, a transaction deadline or another time-sensitive matter, please telephone the relevant office directly during our verified operating hours rather than relying only on email or this form. We are not able to give a general definition of legal urgency online, and specific timing always depends on your own facts — please obtain direct legal advice for anything time-critical. If you are in immediate danger, please contact the relevant emergency services first.

Privacy
Your Information and Confidentiality
We collect initial enquiry information to route your matter to the right office and professional, assess conflicts and suitability, and arrange a consultation where appropriate. Submitting the form above does not, on its own, create an attorney-client relationship, which is why we ask you not to send confidential documents before engagement is confirmed. Full detail on how we handle your information is set out in our Privacy Policy, and questions about our processing can be directed to mail@sarahalison.co.za.
