Teams collaborate across disciplines to offer clients forward-thinking, practical solutions that anticipate legal challenges and capitalise on opportunities. People and Culture Cox Yeats believes its greatest strength lies in its people. The firm fosters a supportive, inclusive environment where individuals are encouraged to reach their full potential. Work-life balance, career development, and employee well-being are central to its culture, contributing to exceptional talent retention and a highly engaged workforce. This positive environment enables the firm to attract top graduates and seasoned professionals alike, ensuring its clients benefit from both fresh perspectives and extensive experience. Awards and Recognition Cox Yeats has earned consistent recognition in leading national and international legal rankings, including Best Lawyers, Legal 500, Chambers Global, the African Legal Awards, and PMR Africa. In 2023, the team received the Best Lawyers Award for Property and Insurance Law Firm of the Year, as well as the 2022 Standard Bank KZN Top Business Award in the Employee Wellbeing category. Recent accolades also include the PMR Africa Diamond Arrow Award, where the firm was ranked First Overall and achieved Diamond Status among medium-sized law firms in South Africa. MICHAEL JACKSON's strong adherence to the core values of integrity and client service, as well as a good sense of humour, have served him well in his professional career. He was appointed as managing partner of Durban law firm Cox Yeats in 2011. In January 1998, Jackson joined Cox Yeats as a candidate attorney. He commented that starting there was really tough. Jackson was articled to Graham Cox, who checked every document that he produced. Jackson said, "Graham Cox told me that I needed to learn the basics of writing and suggested that I read a book or two." This advice came as quite a shock especially after having studied at university for seven years. "This somewhat Victorian introduction to law and work taught me that in law you are never an expert. You must always remain humble and you must take nothing for granted," added Jackson. His early career, he says, was based on a lot of hard work and some luck. In addition, Jackson said that he was fortunate to work with some good people. "I was privileged to work closely with Graham Cox (who at that time was undoubtedly the best lawyer in Durban) and with Jeremy Yeats. In many respects they were complete opposites. Graham economic with words and decisive; Jeremy amiable, who pondered and weighed the various options in committee." A highlight of his career was making partner in 2000, after only one year out of articles. From the outset, Jackson said that he was exposed to large clients and important matters. A big opportunity arose when Jeremy Yeats fell ill, and Jackson took over the work that he handled for Richards Bay Minerals and Tongaat Hulett on land, the environment and minerals. It was through this exposure that he then specialised in natural resource law, which was something that he had not considered at university, where he had focused on tax, finance and corporate law. Jackson says that he is quite old fashioned in his approach to his career as he believes that "You should make a place work, if it is an environment that works". His 30 year employment history at Cox Yeats is in great contrast to the modern trend of job hopping, which is also a challenge for employee retention. Jackson says that it is important to have a culture that builds people from a young age and grows their careers so that they stay with the firm. However, this does require a reciprocal relationship of trust and organisational commitment. Leading a law firm and dealing with a range of diverse personalities requires much responsibility, especially with 28 partners making a total of 45 professionals. As such Jackson favours a participative management style and is as inclusive as possible in allowing everyone to air their voices to reach consensus. He commented that it has been very fulfilling to develop a team of professionals around him and work collectively, as opposed to individually. The Cox Yeats' way values independence and participation. However, he added, "We have found that focussing on our core values and measuring all decisions in reaction to these values has given us much relevance. Our model in recent years of living true to these values has been very successful." An important part of these values is offering outstanding client service and being quite bold. "We regard ourselves as the best KZN law firm and have an increasing amount of international reach, which in the future we would like to grow," concluded Jackson. Jackson is married to Helen who is also a lawyer and has two children. In his free time, he enjoys rowing three times a week on Durban Harbour, the office exercise class and hobbling around the neighbourhood. Apart from international travel, a favourite breakaway spot is a cottage on the Transkei wild coast, which has been in the family for nearly 80 yearsMICHAEL JACKSON's strong adherence to the core values of integrity and client service, as well as a good sense of humour, have served him well in his professional career.

Recognising that water is a precious resource, particularly in water-scarce regions, the company has spearheaded low-flush and pour-flush technologies that drastically reduce water consumption. Their products are designed to work with as little as two litres of water per flush, using either potable or greywater, without compromising hygiene. This commitment is not limited to private households. Through partnerships with private sector donors and organisations looking to maximise the impactof their ESD and SED budgets, Envirosan has already transformed sanitation in over 200 schools nationwide, replacing inadequate or non-existent facilities with safe, modern systems. This approach not only improves the daily lives of learners but also bolsters corporate social responsibility outcomes for the partners involved. Innovation at the Heart of the Business Envirosan's reputation is anchored in its ability to deliver innovative, modular sanitation systems that can be adapted to diverse environments, from rural villages to urban settlements. Their solutions cater to on-site and off-grid systems, making them versatile in addressing the realities of developing regions. Among the standout innovations is the EaziFlush'" system, which allows for efficient flushing using minimal water and is fully upgradable. Communities can begin with a Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) toilet and later upgrade to Urine Diversion (UD) or full flushing systems without replacing the pedestal. This unique step-by-step approach, dubbed 'The Evolution of the Toilet', is a practical and cost-effective way to improve sanitation incrementally as resources allow. The EaziSplit'" system takes this innovation further, offering a hybrid pour or low-flush urine diversion solution compatible with multiple back-end treatments,from leach pits and septic tanks to biodigesters and solids-free sewer systems. This flexibility ensures that waste is managed safely, protecting soil and water sources from contamination. Key Products Driving Change Envirosan's portfolio reflects its commitment to practical, durable, and hygienic sanitation: VIP 200 and VIP 480 Pedestals: Smooth, polymer injection-moulded units that are easy to clean and safe for long-term community use. Both models are upgradeable to urine diversion or low-flush systems, extending their lifespan and efficiency. EaziFlush'": A revolutionary pedestal requiring as little as 2 litres of water per flush. It can function as a pour flush unit when piped water is unavailable, giving households flexibility. EaziWash'" Handwashing Stations: Promoting hygiene alongside sanitation, these 2,700-litre water tanks feature multiple self-cleaning taps and XOPI solid soap dispensers, allowing for touch-free handwashing; vital for schools and public facilities. EaziSoak'" Modular Drainage System: A next generation soakaway system that offers superior percolation and liquid dispersion in a compact footprint. Its plug-and-play design makes it easy to install, transport, and maintain compared to traditional gravel and perforated-pipe systems. Child-Seat Lid: Designed with younger users in mind, this durable, integrated seat promotes safety and inclusivity in family and school sanitation facilities. Every Envirosan product is Agrement Certified, demonstrating that the solutions meet rigorous South African performance and safety standards. Durability and ease of maintenance are key hallmarks, essential in low-resource environments where replacement and repair are often challenging. Building Partnerships for Impact What truly sets Envirosan apart is its ability to align innovation with social impact. The company actively engages with government departments, NGOs, and private sector stakeholders, encouraging investment in school and community sanitation as a high-impact, socially responsible initiative. The results speak for themselves: safer environments for learners, healthier communities, and measurable contributions to B-BBEE and ESD goals for corporate partners. Moreover, Envirosan's decentralised presence, with branches in Gauteng, the Western Cape, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe, ensures local support and responsiveness, while proudly keeping manufacturing in South Africa. Towards a Cleaner, Safer Future As water scarcity and urbanisation challenge traditional sanitation models, Envirosan continues to lead with smart, resource-efficient solutions. By combining modular design, low-water technology, and scalable impact, the company is redefining what sustainable sanitation looks like in the 21st century. For communities that once lacked even basic toilets, the transformation is profound. With each VIP pedestal, EaziWash unit, or EaziSoak installation, Envirosan is helping to ensure that access to safe, dignified, and sustainable sanitation is no longer a privilege, but a fundamental human right.
