South Africa's isolation during the sanctions era made consumers particularly vulnerable to counterfeit goods, as they had little experience of distinguishing between genuine merchandise and counterfeit brands. Forensic Strategies & Solutions and Ernest Robbertse & Associates have achieved significant success in securing prosecutions, forfeitures, and convictions in numerous cases of intellectual property violation.

Investigators experienced in trademark, patent, and copyright breaches enable international clients to enforce their rights criminally and civily. Co-operation with international associates and law enforcement agencies assist law firms and corporate clients to track counterfeit merchandise to its sources, while identifying and prosecuting individuals and syndicates who participate in counterfeiting.
