PSN │ INCORPORATED

a new breed law firm

Who We Are

PSN, as commonly known, has had its roots in the merging of two well-known practices in the Vaal Triangle since 1987. As a well-established law firm based in Vanderbijlpark, we took the lead in our profession to promote black empowerment before this became a requirement and trend in South Africa. In this regard, we were motivated by our belief in our partners and employees, and the value they bring to PSN.
