Careers
At DAC we have a unique work culture fashioned on a flat, open, and culturally diverse corporate structure. We place an emphasis on teamwork and ‘fitting in’ so that despite our individual brilliance we work together as one unit to achieve our goals. We break the mould of traditional hierarchical systems of law firms and have developed a modern approach that suits our vision as a firm.
We want to create a fun space for young, smart, and dynamic professionals to enjoy coming to everyday. We believe our workplace is our second home, so we encourage building life-long friendships with each other through teamwork and sharing.
At DAC, we know that everyone is a star in his or her own right and we use this knowledge to grow together as a team by drawing on each other’s strengths. Ours is to achieve a practice of One firm, One style.

Our Mission
One firm, One mission
Our mission is simple, to provide practical and business-oriented advisory services that positively impact the affairs of our clients.
The Firm takes its mission very seriously. The Firm exists because of the patronage it enjoys from clients. We are passionate about the growth of our clients’ business, and we play a proactive role in their development and success. Therefore, we measure our success by the success of our clients and the strides they make in their industries. We forge and maintain enduring relationships with our clients, their people, affiliates and all the people they deal with in their business. We also cultivate a similarly close relationship with the other professional advisors of our clients.
The long-term viability of the Firm is linked to its ability to provide practical, useful, and efficient answers and solutions to problems or issues our clients are confronted with. Accordingly, our number one focal point is the provision of services that directly address the clients’ problems in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost. This objective can only be achieved by engaging the client and providing an opportunity to speak and to make suggestions. Further, achieving our mission of providing services that meet the needs of the clients, is impossible without recognizing that our most important resource is our Team Members.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be recognized worldwide as a leader in corporate and commercial law practice and provide the most attractive place for smart professionals to work.
Our vision is audacious, and we are spurred on knowing that with each step taken we move closer to making it a reality. At DAC we recognize that one size does not fit all thus our dream is to offer the best bespoke service in our areas of specialization to our clients.
The DAC way
Our core values, define for us what we stand for and capture the soul of our Firm:
Integrity
We practice and insist on high ethical standards which we never compromise on. Our dealings are marked by honesty, integrity, and the highest respect for compliance. We demonstrate integrity in all our interactions with clients or with other professionals. Our sense of integrity extends to the general treatment we give our clients. In line with our sense of integrity, we always adopt the position which best advances the interest of our clients whether this would require greater effort or less income for the Firm.
Excellence
Excellence is a value we consider non-negotiable and must be pursued always and, in all ways, we provide legal services. We pursue and apply technical knowledge with pragmatism and common sense to achieve Excellence in all we do as a Firm. We insist on the need to pay attention to detail, developments and changes in the state of our laws to ensure that our professional advice is always sound in terms of the law and its practical application.
Dedication
We are strongly committed to ensuring that we do not lose sight of the real reason why the client is engaging our services. We keep in mind the fact that what the client wants is a solution. We always opt for the most efficient solution in terms of cost and time. Where a solution is not available within our Firm or it falls outside our areas of practice, we are quick to offer suggestions or recommend other professionals who are better positioned to assist the client in finding the desired solution.
