The Webbers legacy started in 1906 when Fred S. Webber established the firm in Bloemfontein. He was the brother of the founder of the Johannesburg firm Webber Wentzel. His son Walter S. Webber, joined the firm as an article clerk in 1945 and became a partner in 1949, the first partner taken in by the founder since 1906. The name of the firm was changed to Fred S. Webber & Son.
