Legal Practitioners Development Fund

A dedicated development and support organization for the legal profession. The Legal Practitioners Development Fund (LPDF) previously known as the Attorneys Development Fund (ADF), was established in 2011 as an independent, non-profit organization which focuses on the development of legal practitioners. It is governed by a board of directors who are senior legal practitioners from various provinces of South Africa. The main focus of LPDF is to provide office resources to select law firms (mainly sole practitioners), by purchasing the resources on their behalf. The selected firms then repay the organization for these resources over a prescribed period on an ‘interest free’ basis and the monies repaid are used or ‘paid-forward’ for future beneficiaries.
