Mr. Laher began practicing law in complex litigation issues in South Africa

enter into private practice, forming the Laher Law Group in 1998. As head of
his own legal team, Mr. Laher focused his practice on business and corporate
issues, representing clients in business transactions, assisting clients

events, where he discusses topics of business immigration and complex
international litigation.
