Law firm in Zimbabwe | Scanlen & Holderness

Overview:

Scanlen & HoldernessĀ is a premier Zimbabwean law firm offering you a full circle of legal services whether you are a local, regional or international client. Our quality of expertise consistently earns us and our lawyers a top ranking in both local and international legal surveys. Throughout history Team Scanlen has proudly influenced jurisprudential development in Zimbabwe through our continued involvement in landmark cases which have set precedent in many areas of law. In 2013 two of our lawyers again set new precedents in Zimbabwe in the following areas of law:

  • electronic service of court papers for un-located debtors
  • private prosecution in criminal matters and
  • damages arising out of rape-pregnancy.

Team Scanlen has a track record of innovative transactions and market-firsts. In 2014 we celebrated 120 years of continued professional legal service. Although we have a rich heritage, our thinking is progressive.

We have our hand on the pulse of the law in Zimbabwe and over the years a number of our lawyers have been elevated to bench of the High Court and Supreme Court.
