Attorneys in Rosebank, Johannesburg
When a dispute can’t be resolved around a table, you need an attorney who is at home in court. We represent individuals and businesses in the Magistrates’ Court and High Court, backed by 16+ years of courtroom experience.
Litigation is as much about judgment as it is about law. Some disputes justify aggressive court action; others are better resolved through firm negotiation or a well-structured settlement. We assess your matter honestly, tell you what a realistic outcome looks like, then pursue it with meticulous preparation.
Contractual conflicts, unpaid debts and delictual claims, pursued or defended from letter of demand to judgment and execution.
Breach of contract, shareholder and partnership conflicts, and disputes arising from sale or rental agreements.
Claims for financial loss, property damage and personal injury, properly quantified and pursued vigorously.
Urgent court intervention to stop unlawful conduct, preserve assets and protect rights before the damage is done.
If judgment was granted in your absence or in error, we move fast to rescind it, suspend enforcement and protect your credit record.
Protecting your good name against false and damaging statements, and defending unmeritorious claims.
Every matter starts with a consultation to assess merits, evidence and likely costs. Where appropriate we begin with a letter of demand, which resolves a surprising number of disputes. If litigation is necessary, we issue summons or bring an application, manage pleadings and evidence, and argue your matter at trial or on motion, looking for opportunities to settle on favourable terms at every stage.
Direction, not legal advice. For advice on your specific situation, book a confidential consultation.
It depends on the forum, the complexity and how hard the other side fights. At your first consultation we give you a realistic estimate for each stage and advise whether the amount in dispute justifies the cost of pursuing it.
The Magistrates’ Court generally hears claims up to R400 000 (Regional Court), while larger and more complex matters go to the High Court. We advise on the appropriate forum and appear in both.
In many cases, yes. An application for rescission of judgment can set it aside and allow your defence to be heard. Strict time limits apply once you become aware of the judgment.
Undefended matters can be finalised in weeks; defended actions can take a year or more. Urgent applications can be heard within days where genuine urgency exists.
Let’s take on your legal challenge together. All enquiries are confidential, and early advice is almost always better than late advice.
