Legal Strategy
Litigation is more than just knowing the law and the Rules. It is also about the ultimate objective a client is pursuing. Strategy is more important than tactics. With my many years of experience at operating at a strategic level in major corporations, I bring a distinct competitve advantage to every case.
Knowledge Skill and Experience
Over more than 35 years I have had the opportunity to apply my initial knowledge gained through my LL.B and LL.M in different settings and different geographies, giving me a set of skills and experiences that are truly on a different level.
Seasoned Applications Practitioner
Over the years I have brought several applications in the High Court, Magistrate's Court and Labour Court and is therefore well versed in all elements of the Applications process.
Highly Experienced Trial Lawyer
I have not yet lost a trial matter and have honed my skills in leading my witness and cross-examining a witness over many years and in various contexts such as the High Court, Magistrate's Court and Labour Court.
Pro Bono Work
I am currently representing clients on a pro bono basis in three ongoing matters and will only take on new work when one of these matters are resolved. As a referral advocate I only take on pro bono work through attorneys.
Explore Mediation First
Before I take on litigation work, I revert to first principles and that is I explore whether the matter can be resolved through mediation. I critically evaluate the facts of the matter and will more often than not advise the attorney to go that route first.
