Who We Are
MVMT Attorneys is a lean, agile team dedicated to delivering quality legal solutions that empower businesses, communities, and individuals to move forward with confidence.
MVMT Attorneys Inc – Law in Motion
MVMT Attorneys Incorporated began its journey as HW Valentine Inc, a boutique law practice founded by Heinrich Valentine, an accomplished attorney with a track record in corporate legal leadership. From its early offices in Killarney, through Rosebank, to its current home in Hyde Park, the firm has consistently evolved – mirroring the energy and dynamism that define its clients.
In 2017, HW Valentine Inc reimagined its identity to become MVMT Attorneys Inc (“MVMT”).
Law in motion
The name – derived from the word movement – captures the firm’s belief that law should never be static. It should evolve, advance, and adapt to create meaningful progress.
Celebrating nine years in practice, MVMT Attorneys stands as a leading black-owned commercial law firm in Johannesburg, offering integrated expertise in Corporate Governance, Commercial Law, and Litigation, alongside deep specialisation in Banking & Finance and Private Equity.
Our approach combines the strategic insight of in-house counsel with the rigour of private practice, ensuring every solution is both legally sound and commercially practical. We believe in law that enables growth – not limits it.
