WHO WE ARE
Before Google existed. Before the CCMA opened its doors. Before most labour law consultancies entered the market, COFESA was already protecting South African employers.
Since 1990, COFESA has been South Africa’s pioneering labour law specialist for employers, providing expert labour law, industrial relations and HR support to businesses of every size. For more than three decades, we have helped employers navigate an increasingly complex legal landscape while protecting them from costly workplace disputes, CCMA claims, unfair dismissal cases and labour law compliance risks.
COFESA isn’t just another labour law consultancy. We are the pioneer of employer protection in South Africa—trusted by businesses for over 35 years because experience matters when your business is on the line.
WHAT WE DO
At Cofesa, we don’t just advise — we protect. Our experienced Labour Law and IR specialists provide practical, strategic solutions designed to ensure compliance, minimise risk, resolve disputes, and safeguard what you’ve worked hard to build.
From drafting contracts and policies to handling disciplinary hearings, CCMA matters, and Bargaining Council disputes, we stand firmly on the side of employers — every step of the way.
Our mission is simple: to give you confidence, clarity, and protection in every labour-related matter.
WHERE WE WORK
With nationwide coverage and a dedicated team of labour law specialists, we provide employers across South Africa with effortless support when workplace challenges arise.
We protect you as the employer wherever you are in South Africa — with practical, professional labour law solutions tailored to your business needs.
