Blakes Maphanga has long been committed to employment equity through affirmative action, and we have implemented positive measures to rebalance the employment equity scorecard. As a result, several prominent attorneys from previously disadvantaged backgrounds were trained at Blakes Maphanga.

In support of our employment equity policy, Blakes Maphanga now has no less than 40% of its staff compliment comprising BEE candidates, and it is a 25% black owned firm.

Blakes Maphanga's annual intake of candidate attorneys has for the past number of years been focused on appointment of candidates from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our affirmative action program is designed to enhance the firm's corporate values and vision through positive contribution to the socio-economic environment. Our human resources policy expounds equal rights and opportunities for all existing and potential staff regarding employment, promotion, career growth and development in the firm.
