WKH ushers in a new chapter

“This leadership change follows a period of transformational growth, marked by both challenges and rewarding milestones.

“Looking ahead, our focus remains on delivering exceptional service to our clients, capitalising on the opportunities presented by our expansion, and fostering a collaborative and collegial culture across the firm,” WKH said.
“WKH’s core strength has always been its ability to meet the needs and advance the goals of our clients—particularly in property transactions, M&A, and litigation in both the lower and higher courts of Namibia.
