Bell Dewar

On 1 February 2013, South African law firm Bell Dewar merged with Fasken Martineau, a leading international business law and litigation firm.
==History==

Bell Dewar was founded in Johannesburg 1889 by William Henry Somerset Bell, who started his career in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape then moved to Kimberley.
With gold discovered in Johannesburg in 1886, Bell was asked to examine and report on mining claims belonging to the Grahamstown Gold Mining Syndicate. On the strength of his report, the Grahamstown Gold Mining Company Ltd was floated; Bell became a director.〔Bell, WH Somerset (1933). Bygone days; being the reminiscences of pioneer life in the Cape Colony and the Transvaal, with some account of the Jameson Raid and its consequences. London: HF & G Witherby, 1933: 126〕 Work for lawyers specializing in mining was available; the following year, Bell went to the Kimberley diamond fields. Subsequently, in 1889, he moved with his family to open a practice in Johannesburg. Charles Alexander Dewar joined Bell in 1915.
As an expert on company and mining law, Bell attracted the attention of foreign interest groups investing in South Africa in the early 20th century.〔South African Law Journal (Editorial). Cape Town: JC Juta & Co,1913: 6〕
Through Bell, the firm established a long association with the newspaper industry. His firm undertook legal work for ''The Rand Daily Mail'' and still represents ''The Sunday Times (South Africa)'', South Africa’s largest weekly newspaper. Through its early involvement in employment law and trade unions, the firm was drawn into high profile political matters during the 1980s and 1990s. These included the Delmas Treason Trial and the Neil Aggett inquest.
On an April day in 1998, President Nelson Mandela paid an unexpected visit to the office. Mandela remembered the firm from his days in legal practice; while driving past the firm’s office in Houghton, he decided to visit to pay his respects. He took the time to greet every member of staff. The event is immortalized on a plaque in the office; people present at the time never forgot the occasion.
With the 1990s and changes in political affairs in South Africa, the firm’s leadership realigned its vision and strategy as a specialist business law firm. In 1999, Bell Dewar was audited and awarded the ISO 9000 Quality Management Service certificate. The firm is audited biannually. In 2008, Bell Dewar changed its name from Bell Dewar and Hall, to “Bell Dewar”; in 2009, it relocated its office to Sandton.
On 1 February 2013, Bell Dewar merged with Fasken Martineau, a leading international business law and litigation firm.
