Founded in 1921, De Klerk & Van Gend Inc. is one of Cape Town's most respected and enduring law firms. For over 100 years, we have built our reputation on the founding principles of honesty, integrity, and ethical service — values that remain at the heart of everything we do today.
In 2007, the firm merged with Bardien & Higgins, a fully Black-owned and empowered firm, deepening our commitment to transformation, diversity, and inclusive legal representation. Today, we operate across three conveniently located offices — Cape Town, Claremont, and Tyger Valley — providing comprehensive legal services across more than 15 practice areas.
