Pisanti Attorneys Incorporated was established in early 2017. When it was founded, we aimed to be a young and vibrant law firm which had a boutique and personal type feel. This ethos has not changed; our family has just gotten bigger.
Still situated in Bedfordview, Johannesburg but having relocated to new and bigger premises at the end of 2019, the firm is growing in both notoriety and stature.
Although a lot has changed since the firm was founded, the core principles and values it had at inception have not changed, our drive and desire to provide an unparalleled professional service to our clients remains our main priority.
