Fractional Legal Advisory
Navigate the noise.
Practical, plain-English commercial legal support for growing businesses - the kind of in-house legal cover that used to be reserved for companies with their own legal department.
No jargon. No obligation. First conversation is free.
Is your business legally exposed?
Most growing businesses are so focused on operations and cash flow that the legal side gets pushed to the back - until it becomes a problem. These are the four gaps we see most often.
Outdated employment agreements
Contracts that haven't been updated in years may not reflect current BCEA and LRA requirements. If a dismissal or CCMA dispute arises, an outdated contract can leave you with no defence.
No written service agreements
Doing client work without a signed agreement means no defined scope, no enforceable payment terms, and very little recourse if a client refuses to pay or disputes the work.
Unsigned or expired leases
Operating on an expired lease means no guaranteed right to remain in your premises and no agreed escalation terms - a very weak position if a dispute with your landlord arises.
Unreviewed supplier contracts
Supplier contracts are drafted to protect the supplier, not you. Uncapped liability, automatic renewal clauses and unfair termination provisions are common - and easy to miss.
How Waypoint Advisory can help
Practical commercial legal advice without the cost or complexity of a large law firm or full-time in-house counsel. All services are advisory - guidance, documents, and preparation, not litigation or representation before the CCMA or courts.

About Rafi
Admitted Attorney & Founder, Waypoint Advisory
Rafi trained as a commercial litigation attorney at Tugendhaft Wapnick Banchetti & Partners, an established Sandton commercial law firm, working across company law and corporate and commercial matters.
Before founding Waypoint, he spent several years on the commercial side of business rather than behind a desk at a law firm - leading a multi-city funding team at GroWise Capital and working in business development and client relationship management. That combination shapes how Waypoint works: advice grounded in how businesses actually operate, not just in the law.
Waypoint Advisory was built to give growing businesses the kind of practical, embedded legal support usually reserved for companies with their own in-house counsel - without the overhead of hiring one.
Let's have a conversation.
No jargon, no obligation - just a clear view of where your business stands.
