End of an era for 158-year-old law firm in South Africa

• The formal alliance between Webber Wentzel and Linklaters will end on 1 November 2026, marking the end of a 13-year relationship.
• Webber Wentzel, established in 1868, is South Africa's oldest law firm and has undergone numerous changes and mergers over the decades, including a merger with Linklaters in 2013.
• The end of the formal alliance will allow Webber Wentzel to receive referrals from a wider range of international law firms, giving it more flexibility in managing international relationships.
