The company presently has 7 directors and a staff complement of 38. The firm has followed employment equity principles since the early 1980's [our first black professional assistant was employed in 1987.

In 2005 two black Candidate Attorneys who were previously disadvantaged individuals qualified as attorneys and have entered into their own business ventures. The firm's bond registrations department is managed by Mrs Prishila Ramsangar, who was appointed in 1995 and who has received various service excellence awards from corporate institutions. Mrs. Beena Ramsangar, also a previously disadvantaged individual who joined us in 1987, has grown from a clerical position to the firm's financial and office manager.
