The Gauteng Society of Advocates is an independent association of Advocates which was founded in 2004. 

The society is a body of professional practicing advocates in South Africa and abroad, whose members share in knowledge, professional status and friendship.

With the promulgation of the Legal Practices Act 28 of 2014, The GSA has opened the doors for a new generation of Advocates. Litigation in South Africa has changed, and it is this change which the GSA has embraced and will foster. In the wake of the ever evolving legal environment in South Africa, the society has adapted to new and exciting challenges.
