Corporate Law
Nearly 25 years of corporate and commercial experience, from Barclays’ acquisition of ABSA to multi‑million euro mining, energy and infrastructure deals. I’ve led M&A, restructurings and cross‑border transactions for clients like Glencore, Société Générale, Royal Bafokeng Nation and Chiesi, combining technical precision with clear, commercial advice

Family law
While my core practice is corporate and commercial, I bring the same strategic mindset to family matters: I have learned to be careful in the structuring of settlements. I understand risk in matters of the heart. I always focus on durable, low‑conflict outcomes, particularly when children are involved, that protect both people and assets.
Practice Areas
Dispute Resolution
I’ve acted in high‑stakes commercial litigation and arbitration, including major matters for South Africa’s National Arts Festival and the Advertising Regulatory Board, as well as ICSID arbitrations under international investment law. My approach is to resolve disputes quickly where possible, and to litigate hard and intelligently when necessary.
