WELCOME
| Cameron Cross Inc. specialises exclusively in the fields of Environmental, Health and Safety Law and operates from offices in Pretoria and Cape Town, South Africa. Although CCI predominantly acts in a consulting and auditing capacity, it is and practises as a firm of attorneys, as opposed to a legal consultant company, and therefore also actively represents clients in litigation proceedings.
CCI provides the industrial, mining and development sectors with SHE legal advice and assistance, whether through risk assessment, opinion writing, due diligence assessments, auditing, strategic process coordination, contract drafting or litigation proceedings. CCI also assists the public sector with statutory development initiatives, policy formulation and legal opinion. The firm has a "client and law first" character and policy and adheres to the strict codes of the attorney's profession.
Cameron Cross Inc. as well as its directors are internationally recognised. PLC Which Lawyer, (the UK's pre-eminent provider of legal know-how, transactional analysis and market intelligence for business lawyers) rates CCI as "Highly Recommended" and its directors as "Leading" in the field of Environmental Law.

A recurring feature of South Africa's national environmental management legislation is the delegation of lawmaking powers to the Minister (including the possibility for further delegation to Provincial Ministers). Such delegated lawmaking powers enables the Minister to give effect to and to flesh out the original legislation and are a common and expected feature of primary legislation (also known as enabling or original legislation).
