The directors of DDKK Inc. believe that, although the firm is a commercial enterprise striving to make a profit, we must conduct business in a socially responsible manner. In support of various charities, we give back to the community, usually in the form of sponsorships for fund-raising events, some of which we arrange ourselves.

In 2009, we sponsored and hosted “Saturday Night Fever”, where all the funds raised were donated to Cansa. In 2010, we also co-sponsored an evening of Blues music with Dan Patlansky where Cansa was the beneficiary. Cansa has been a regular beneficiary of our firm and we have, since 2012, taken part in the Cansa Shavethon, as well as Cansa’s “Jail n’ Bail”.

Various charities looking after children in need, also regularly benefit from functions that our firm arranges and/or sponsors. In 2012, Hope for Children was the beneficiary of a formal function where well-known Afrikaans singer, Coenie de Villiers, performed. In 2014, the La Wilda Centre for Children with Special Needs, was the beneficiary of a function where Rocco de Villiers performed. In 2016, Round Table Pietersburg 22 benefitted from a function where well-known artist Laurika Rauch was the performer. For many years, we were also co-sponsors of Kydz Inc., a programme to develop the entrepreneurial skills of scholars in Grade 12.

Every August since 2012, our firm arranges and sponsors a function to celebrate Women’s Day, where the focus is almost always on bringing inspirational messages to the women of Limpopo.

As a firm, we have also presented many free seminars for members of the public where we focus on topics that may assist the vulnerable members of society, such as a seminar on the maintenance of children and the rights of children in divorces.

The PH Group was established in 2006 by founding member firm PH Attorneys and has since evolved to become the Largest Legal Network in South Africa and the only network of its kind that caters exclusively to the needs of South African law firms.

The PH Group was established in response to an identified need of small and medium-sized law firms to form part of a larger network and so gain access to shared resources, expertise and economies of scale.

To ensure member firms aspire to the Group Standards and Values, PH Attorneys undertakes a member firm certification process every two years to review the adherence of member firms to the Group Standards. The certification process follows a comprehensive evidence-based review of each member firms’ adherence to the Group Standards.

Following such review, member firms that have excelled are recognised through the Group’s New Breed Law Firm Awards that provides recognition to top-performing member firms and acknowledges their progress to becoming New Breed Law Firms™. The awards are allocated after the completion of the bi-annual certification process and allows member firms to showcase their performance to their clients and staff. Each award is valid for two years from date of award.

We are proud to announce that our firm has in 2023 been awarded Gold Achiever status by the PH Group for achieving more than 80% compliance with the Group Standards. This achievement confirms that we are truly a New Breed of Law Firm™ and provides comfort to you, our client, that you are working with a leading, well-managed and compliant law firm that cares about you and your business. We have gone to great lengths to do so, and believe this Award confirms our commitment to you.
