Selected
the first black law firm in South Africa
I would say that's the least awkward wording although LisaMac's suggestion also works pretty well...

: SOUTH AFRICA'S FIRST BLACK LAW FIRM is probably the best of all.... black-owned is a bit iffy... not sure if you talk about a law firm as owned, even though I guess the partners do own it...

the first all-black law firm in South Africa
There are lots of uses of "all-black" on Google, and somehow this sounds good to me.
Example sentence:
Nashville law firms Williams & Dinkins and Dodson and Parker & Behm have merged. The consolidation blends Nashville\'s first all-black law firm
