Marcelle Meredith

Executive Director, National Council of SPCAs

"The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) engaged the legal services of Wright Inc. in 2020 and we have not looked back.
Many a legal firm has partnered with the NSPCA over the years and we are most grateful to those firms, however, Wright Inc. delivers a new dimension to animal welfare legal matters. Attorneys Dean Wright and Dominique Lloyd’s unwavering support of the NSPCA’s live export proceedings is glaringly evident as they are available at all times, including after hours and weekends to accommodate our numerous requests of them.
As a client, the NSPCA feels overwhelmingly confident that Wright Inc. is the wisest decision for our legal representations and we trust that the National Council of SPCA’s and Wright Inc. have many successful years together, advocating on behalf of South Africa’s animals."
