This month Eversheds Sutherland has seen 2 promotions with Matthew Anley, a candidate attorney, being made an associate at their commercial department, and Kirsten-Lee Dinnes being appointed as senior associate in their IP team.

The Knysna Fires have caused great devastation to this beautiful part of our country and much support is still needed to help all those affected. It is at times like these that we see the phenomenal support of our fellow South Africans from across the globe, and to assist, ADDaBIT has teamed up with KISCH IP to set up a fund to accept donations. KISCH IP will ensure the funds are disbursed appropriately, and will administer the specific payments to ensure those in need are helped. ADDaBIT funds are managed by Sanlam. https://addabit.com/fund/knysnafire2017
