YMS Inc is a South African law firm helping individuals, families and businesses protect what they have built, navigate important decisions and plan for what comes next.
Our approach is personal and practical. We take the time to understand not only the legal issue in front of you, but what is actually at stake — your family, your business, your property, your livelihood or your future.
YMS Inc was founded by Yashfeena Maheter on 11 January 2016, with three months’ rent, a hope, and a determination to build a legal practice of her own.
After working for other attorneys, Yashfeena wanted the freedom to practise law differently — to create her own space, make decisions guided by her values, and have greater room to help and empower the people she served.
That belief in empowerment remains at the heart of YMS Inc today.
Yashfeena is passionate about helping people protect what matters to them and build for the future.
Her work spans family law, contracts and commercial agreements, estate planning and trusts, business structuring, intellectual property, insurance matters and litigation.
Over the years, she has helped families plan their estates and build legacies, entrepreneurs grow from sole proprietors into companies, and parents navigate difficult matters involving their children.
Bio
It’s Your Family, Business, or Future
At YMS Inc, we believe the importance of something cannot always be measured by its monetary value.
A mansion may be worth more on paper than a modest home, but to the person who calls either one home, its importance can be immeasurable.
We bring that perspective to every matter. Whether you are protecting a relationship with your child, reviewing an important contract, growing a business, or planning what you will leave behind, we understand that there is something important behind the legal question.
Our role is not simply to tell you what the law says.
We want you to understand your position, your options, and the decisions available to you. Whether we are helping resolve a family dispute, putting the right agreement in place, protecting intellectual property, structuring a business, or planning an estate, our focus is on practical legal solutions that support where you want to go next.
Our core services include contracts and commercial agreements, and family law, including divorce, child access and contact, care, primary residence, guardianship, and maintenance. We also assist with estate planning and trusts, business structuring, intellectual property, insurance matters, and litigation.

You don’t need to know legal terminology to speak with us. Tell us what has happened, what you are concerned about, and what you would like to achieve. We can then help you understand the legal issues involved and the appropriate next step.
Whether the matter concerns your family, an important agreement, your business or something you’ve worked hard to build, start with a conversation.
