Arshad Pahad
It is run by a sole practitioner, Arshad Pahad, who majored in Economics, Corporate Finance, and Law, also read and has read toward and completed Master’s Degree in Company Law in 2010.
Golden Key Recipient

Arshad has also been awarded the Golden Key for completing his law degree amongst the top ten percent of students in his final year. Arshad had also lectured at the University of the Witwatersrand in Company Law.

As the practice specialises in Customs and Excise Law, and related matters, and is run as a sole proprietor, all its matters are handled personally by Arshad and as such an excess of matters are not taken up by the practice, ensuring that all of Pahad Attorney’s clients receive specialised and personalised service.

The practice is situated in Houghton Johannesburg, and is run in a casual and modern manner, where Arshad believes, is not the suit that counts but the work.

There is nothing worse than having to be billed and remain in a stuff office, where the suit counts more than the work.
