Clyde & Co has launched in South Africa, opening two offices with a five-lawyer team hired from Linklaters partner firm Webber Wentzel.

The new offices in Cape Town and Johannesburg will be led by the former head of Webber’s insurance and legal liability practice Daniel Le Roux. He will be joined by practice partner Rashad Ismail and consultant Warren Hiepner, who will be based in Johannesburg.
