Frequently Asked Questions

CIPA registration for a private limited company typically takes 5 to 10 business days when all documents are in order. Professional assistance avoids delays caused by incomplete applications. Our team handles CIPA registrations regularly and can guide you through the entire process.
Under the Employment Act of Botswana, employees have the right to fair procedure and substantive fairness in dismissal. You may refer a dispute to the Office of Labour Relations within prescribed timeframes. Remedies include reinstatement, re-engagement, or compensation. Consult a lawyer promptly to preserve your options.
The conveyancing process typically takes 6 to 12 weeks from the date of signing the sale agreement, depending on transaction complexity and the Deeds Registry workload. We work to expedite the process by ensuring all documentation is complete and correctly prepared from the outset.
It is not legally mandatory, but strongly recommended. A professionally drafted Will minimises the risk of disputes, ensures your wishes are clearly expressed, and reduces the burden on your estate. We offer Will drafting consultations tailored to your family and financial circumstances.
Tribal (customary) land is administered by Land Boards and allocated to citizens for use — it cannot be sold as freehold. Freehold (state land) is privately owned and can be transferred, mortgaged, and sold freely. Most urban properties in Gaborone are freehold. The legal processes differ significantly — speak to us before any land transaction.
