Two decades of principled practice.
WWSPR (Pty) Ltd t/a Wadee and Wadee Attorneys was established in 2004 and has been in existence for over sixteen years.
From Lenasia to Parkhurst.
The firm was started by Mrs Zenobia Wadee in Lenasia, practicing in the field of Family Law, Administration of Deceased Estates, commercial contracts, property law, and personal injury litigation.
The firm operated in Lenasia and, due to expansion, relocated to its current address at 5 Quinn Street, Parkhurst, Johannesburg.
WWSPR has a policy of assisting the community with pro bono work — supporting sporting codes, institutions, NGOs, and NPOs (subject to conflict checks) — and currently provides legal advice in various fields.
The firm's labour department and commercial litigation grew extensively during the first five years, mainly through its internal pro bono programme.
