Our mission is to empower South African citizens with educational legal information, helping them understand their rights and navigate the legal system with confidence.
Virtual Lawyer SA was created to bridge the gap between complex legal language and everyday understanding. We believe that every South African citizen deserves to understand their legal rights and the laws that govern their lives.
Through AI-powered technology, we provide instant access to South African legislation, case law summaries, and plain-language explanations—all for educational purposes.
Our platform is specifically designed around South African law, including the Constitution, Acts of Parliament, court decisions, and legal frameworks unique to our country. We're committed to serving our community with accurate, relevant, and locally-focused legal education.
The principles that guide everything we do
Making South African law understandable and accessible to every citizen, regardless of legal knowledge or background.
Providing clear, educational legal information without replacing the irreplaceable value of professional legal counsel.
Being upfront about our limitations, disclaimers, and the educational nature of our platform.
Not a Law Firm: Virtual Lawyer SA is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal services. We are an educational technology platform.
No Government Affiliation: We are an independent platform and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any South African government body, court, law society, or legal institution.
Professional Advice Recommended: While we provide educational legal information, we strongly recommend consulting with a licensed South African attorney for personalized legal advice, representation, or guidance on specific legal matters affecting you.

Note for Transparency: Apple's App Store guidelines (5.1.1(ix) and 5.6.2) require apps in highly regulated fields like legal services to be submitted by a legal entity that provides those services, rather than an individual developer. This ensures transparency and accountability for users.
If you are an individual developer planning to submit this app to the App Store, we recommend consulting with legal and business advisors about forming an appropriate legal entity (such as a company or trust) before submission.
