Chatsama & Partners — herein referred to as the law firm — was established in terms of the Legal Practitioners Act Chapter 27:07 in April 2014. We draw on our unique knowledge of the business environment and in-depth understanding of the socio-political climate to advise clients on a wide range of legal issues. Our aim is to assist our clients in achieving their objectives as smoothly and efficiently as possible while minimizing regulatory risk.
These are the values upon which this company was founded. These values set the tone for a more professional, accountable and efficient practice enabling better focus on results and customer satisfaction.
What excels a law firm — contrary to popular belief — is not its history, size, nor the deals it has facilitated, but its position, knowledge, understanding and service delivery. Most of it emanates from how we treat you, our client, from the moment you walk in the door. Chatsama & Partners is a medium-sized law firm that remains agile, dynamic and capable of adapting to every client's needs, while large enough to compete with some of the largest firms in Zimbabwe. Our concept of growth is rooted firmly in the notion that it is our expertise in law and speed of delivery that sets us apart — never our size.
We aspire to be the leading diversified legal services provider in Zimbabwe, offering professional services without discrimination to private individuals, communities, and corporate organizations, in accordance with the finest ethics of the Law Society.
Our firm is not just focused on legal ethics but is concerned with the social welfare of the society within which we work. These social ethics bind us to be more responsible corporate citizens and to be a reflection of the good within the whole community. Our firm at times plays a crucial role in providing voluntary services to needy members and social organizations on a pro bono basis. We actively take up in forma pauperis cases and indigent matters on a pro amico basis.
It is our belief that from the moment a client walks through the door it is our mandate and duty to give them the best of our expertise. In doing so we make it a point to know our clients, because it is through comprehending where they have come from and where their vision lies that we are able to provide the best legal services possible.
The law in itself is complicated enough without making it even more obscure. We at Chatsama & Partners ensure that our clients understand everything we do and are comfortable with the manner in which we execute their instructions. In this way we build the currency that makes a truly great law firm: trust.
We at Chatsama & Partners are result-oriented and exercise a standard of excellence in the work that we do. We ensure our clients are updated regularly on the progress of their matters. Whenever possible, matters are conducted without litigation; where this is not possible, the firm will aggressively defend the rights and interests of our clients in negotiations, trials and appeals — with a success rate of 99%.
Winning is not about how much we bill a client but about the value we deliver. We are proactive in our approach and willing to go the extra mile to provide a perfect match for what's needed. We offer personalized service, accessibility, attention to detail and consistently favourable outcomes. All fees for legal work done are charged as per the Law Society tariff.
