Established in 2001 by experienced and practising attorneys Duncan Houghton and Giuseppina Harper, Houghton Harper Inc is today centrally located in secure and spacious premises in Houghton Estate, one of Johannesburg’s heritage areas. Our move to Houghton Estate in 2005 was deliberate, so we could be easily accessible to people of all walks of life; those with their own transport and those reliant on public transport. And our choice of a house as a premises is reflective of who we are: a “new South Africa” firm at home with its expertise. Headed by Duncan Houghton and Giusi Harper, we specialise in the law of delict and the recovery of damages in the most cost effective manner possible, making us one of the leading firms in this category. Complementing the services and expertise of the partners are a further four attorneys, two candidate attorneys and thirteen support staff. Through them, the firm is experienced in, and able to see to, all matters pertaining to Personal Injury Law, Medical Malpractice, Divorce and Family Law, Wills, Prenuptial and Universal Partnership Agreements, Deceased Estates and Conveyancing. Our interaction with clients is informal and considerate of their financial circumstances and it is perhaps our approachability that engenders long-term relationships with them. This, and the fact that we can communicate in all eleven official South African languages (plus French, Greek and Italian) and have solid working relationship with doctors, surgeons and specialists whose knowledge and expertise are invaluable when quantifying matters and providing expert testimony in court. At Houghton Harper, we’re more than just legal advisors. We’re dedicated professionals intent on bringing justice to our clients. Our success in settlements and trials is proven and is also due to our adaptability to market shifts in litigation and collections. No matter how large or small your requirement, you’ll feel at home with us.
