pop.law

In this episode of LAW'D have Mercy, we speak to Rebecca Kooiker from Pop Up Weddings South Africa, about inclusivity and choice in the wedding industry. We chat love, law, non traditional couples and marriage. We are firm believers in making "law for everyone", especially when it comes to how couples choose to make their love "official". Rebecca, Jules and their team share this belief too and apply this to how they help couples to tie the knot.

In this episode, we hit the pause button and reflect on the past six months of life at pop.law. We chat about why we started pop.law and how it came to pass that we opened shop on day one of level five lockdown. There’re been highs, lows, successes and mistakes... and we are only getting started!

This story was shared with us by Tarryn James, the founder of Yoga South Africa. Yoga South Africa is our country’s leading yoga resource. It’s been around for yonks. Every yoga teacher who has ever bent themselves into a pretzel knows about it. It’s a household name. Imagine Tarryn’s shock when she woke up one morning to a message from a friend saying: “Ummmmm… not sure if you’ve seen… but the whole Yoga South Africa directory has been copied outright on another website”. Without any legal help, Tarryn intuitively followed textbook protocol and had the whole situation dealt with within a day! In this episode, we'll chat with her about the things she did to sort out the breach.
