Meiring’s experience includes advising on banking and financial services regulation, consumer law and corporate governance, including exchange control, securitisations, payment instruments and payment methods.
“With the unprecedented financial sector regulatory reform South Africa is currently experiencing, and will continue to experience for the near future, the move to ENSafrica is a timeous one.
