As the youngest law firm on the list, Sitef & Co was ranked as notable in the categories of ‘Project Development: Energy & Infrastructure’ and ‘Project Development: Mining’, alongside many long-established major players in the legal sector.
Sitef & Co Pleased & Humbled by Recognition
Founder, Mihlali Sitefane, said these rankings affirm their position as one of the top mining law firms in the legal market and their expertise in project development in both energy and mining law.
“It underscores our value commitment towards excellence. It pins us up against some of the top law firms in the country.”
Sitefane explained that the rankings recognised the firm’s tireless efforts on incredibly complex matters and transactions. They work with high-profile companies and clients of a high pedigree.
“It’s not the kind of work that can easily be done well without specialists.”
In celebration of this ranking, Sitefane said, “We want to take a moment as a team to reflect on some of the matters we’ve worked on and celebrate the successes we’ve had on those matters. We are so thankful to our clients for trusting us.”
This achievement follows several successes for the firm in 2024. In November, Sitefane was selected for The Best Lawyers in South Africa based on her expertise in mining law. Sitef & Co was also shortlisted in the African Legal Awards 2024 for ESG Initiative of the Year in September.
