History

OAK Law was founded and established on 1 September 2013 when Owen Kriek relinquished his partnership with another specialist corporate and commercial law practice, in order to pursue his dream of establishing his own niche corporate and commercial law firm.

OAK Law was founded and established under a strict restraint of trade, and had one client and one attorney upon opening its doors. The firm however quickly established itself as a reputable, efficient and effective legal services provider and today OAK Law’s client base and staff compliment is diverse, representative and growing progressively.

Our Principles

Just as humans are all unique, OAK Law strives to differentiate itself. As such the firm is founded on 5 key principles – the “OAK Law DNA”.

As a professional services firm, we recognise that the expertise and knowledge of our staff form the basis of our continued success. In this light we strive to recruit, develop and retain the brightest talent, albeit as permanent staff members or consultants.

In order to stay abreast of new developments in our respective fields of expertise, we submit ourselves to continuous professional development by attending short courses, conferences and seminars.

In instances where we don’t recruit and appoint, we have formed trustworthy partnerships with leading professionals, to ensure that we always have access to the expert knowledge and assistance you require.

By choosing OAK Law, you gain direct access to professionals who are committed towards becoming and remaining thoroughly invested in your business, and thoroughly knowledgeable on the industries in which you operate. At OAK Law we believe that “knowledge is key”. In order to provide you with a reputable and trusted service, we need to understand your industry and your business.

To this end we are on a continuous drive to gather as much information and knowledge about our clients, their industries and their businesses as we possibly can.

This not only allows us to understand key issues and aspects across a broad spectrum of businesses, but also allows us to tailor our service offering to the specific needs and expectations of each client. Before acquiring a product or service, one weighs quality against cost. At OAK Law we strive towards quality that not only matches cost, but rather exceeds it. We pride ourselves on delivering top quality services in a highly efficient and cost effective manner.Innovation and foresight are key elements to becoming and remaining a forerunner in one’s industry. Through our unwavering commitment to remain innovative, forward thinking and adaptable, we have come to realise that our services would be lacking if we did not assist our clients in doing the same.

Based on knowledge gained through our expansive network of clients and colleagues, and our desire to remain abreast of change, we aim to keep our clients informed about new opportunities, trends and requirements, all the while assisting them in foreseeing, adapting to and complying with change.

When it comes to acquiring professional services, everyone enjoys getting more than they’ve bargained for. At OAK Law we are intent on always leaving our clients with a sense of reward. We believe that our services should not merely fulfil the purposes for which we are engaged, but should at all times exceed expectations.
