Gauteng - Head Office
Peter Dykes became a director of Munro McHarry Inc. (a well established firm in Randburg) at the end of 1984. Subsequently, with the blessing of Munro McHarry Inc, he started a new partnership known as Munro Edmonds Dykes. It was initially the intention that Munro Edmons Dykes would concentrate on commercial work and litigation and Munro McHarry Inc. would concentrate on conveyancing. The partnership subsequently changed it's name to Edmons Dykes and later to Dykes, Daly. A few years later Dykes, Daly purchased Munro McHarry Inc. which then became part of Dykes, Daly. In March 1995 Johan van Heerden (who had done his articles at Dykes, Daly and had helped establish the Roodepoort office of Dykes, Daly) became a partner of Dykes, Daly. Dykes, Daly at such stage separated into four separate firms and Peter Dykes and Johan van Heerden became sole partners of Dykes, Daly (Roodepoort). Dykes, Daly (Roodepoort) subsequently changed it's name to Dykes van Heerden.
