History:
Alet Uys is a highly accomplished litigator and accredited mediator bringing over a decade of formidable High Court experience to the Lynnwood, Pretoria community. Her practice is built on the rare combination of intense courtroom advocacy and an advanced academic specialization. Holding a BCom Law, an LLB, and an LLM (cum laude), she is currently finalizing her LLD in Family Law. This deeply research-driven foundation ensures that her legal strategies and mediation frameworks consistently stay ahead of evolving South African legislation.
Her professional philosophy is fundamentally settlement-focused. Having secured reported judgments—including the precedent-setting Carmichael-Brown v Liquid Telecoms labour dispute and groundbreaking family law matters—Alet understands the court system intimately. This inside knowledge makes her exceptionally effective at keeping her clients out of it. Whether acting as a neutral mediator to preserve family relationships or as a fierce legal advocate protecting constitutional rights, her objective remains constant: delivering practical, long-term resolutions rather than short-term, acrimonious victories.
