Our Journey

Our journey is one of purposeful growth. In 1996, we began with a vision to protect people from being taken advantage of simply because they couldn’t afford a lawyer. In 2008, we introduced our funeral plan to ensure our members could give their loved ones a dignified farewell without financial strain. Today, with over 490,000 legal consultations completed and nearly R40 million in claims paid (2022 figures), we’re proud to have made justice more accessible. We’ve introduced specialist departments in key legal areas like tax, property, finance, and uncontested divorces, proving that we’re not just growing bigger but getting better.

Our People

Our people are more than employees — they’re Service Ambassadors. Each one is committed to the mission of helping South Africans “Strike Back Legally.” Whether they’re in legal, admin, marketing, IT, customer care, HR or finance, our team members are:

• Passionate about justice
• Proud of their purpose
• Professional in everything they do

We invest in our people because they invest their hearts and energy into every member interaction. That’s why many of our team members have been with us for 10+ years — because here, you matter.

Our Culture

We're not just in the business of law — we’re in the business of people. Our culture is shaped by:

• Integrity – We do what’s right, not what’s easy.
• Diversity & Inclusion – Our strength lies in our differences.
• Fairness – Guided by Treating Customers Fairly (TCF), and treating each other fairly too.
• Excellence – We hold ourselves accountable for high performance.
• Community – Through CSI and volunteer efforts, we give back meaningfully.

Scorpion is a place where doing meaningful work and being part of a high-impact team go hand-in-hand. You’ll be challenged, supported, and recognised.
