Brief Curriculum Vitae

I have been a member of the Johannesburg Bar for 27 years.
The profile of my practice covers a wide spectrum, including arbitrations, trial proceedings, and motion court practice.
As a fluent German speaker, I have advised German multinational companies both locally and in Germany.
My area of expertise encompasses company, construction, insurance, consumer-related disputes, insolvency, and unlawful competition matters.
I also have experience in labour and family law matters.

I hold a BA LLB degree and a Higher Diploma in Company Law from the University of the Witwatersrand, as well as a Master of International Business Law from the University of Liverpool.

My legal journey commenced as an article clerk at a small firm in Johannesburg where I qualified as an attorney.
Subsequently I became a State Prosecutor at the Department of Justice, specialising in white-collar crime and fraud cases.
Thereafter and having gained extensive experience in conducting trials, I joined the Johannesburg Bar
