History:

Behind every legal matter is a real person or business trying to protect what they’ve built and move forward with confidence. I understand this because I’ve been on both sides — managing businesses and navigating the law. That’s why I founded Caulfield J. Attorneys Inc.: to provide legal support that is not only accurate and reliable, but also practical and focused on helping you achieve your goals.

My journey began with a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from the University of South Africa, followed by a Master of Laws (LL.M) in Public International Law from Leiden University in the Netherlands. Along the way, I developed a deep interest in how law shapes innovation and business, which led me to pursue further certifications in Artificial Intelligence and Law, Privacy and Data Protection, and Patent Law.

Before starting my practice, I worked extensively in commercial operations — overseeing strategy, finances, logistics, and risk management. This gave me the ability to look at legal challenges through a business lens. When you work with me, you don’t just get legal advice; you get a partner who understands the bigger picture of running and growing a business.

At Caulfield J. Attorneys Inc., I can help you with:

  • Intellectual Property Law – protecting your ideas, trademarks, and innovations.
  • AI and Technology Law – making sense of the fast-changing world of emerging tech.
  • Privacy and Data Protection – ensuring compliance with POPIA, GDPR, and global standards.
  • Corporate and Commercial Law – drafting contracts, managing compliance, and supporting growth.
  • Employment Law & Dispute Resolution – helping you manage risks and resolve conflicts effectively.

Clients value my approach because I am thorough, approachable, and forward-thinking. I will take the time to understand your business, explain your options clearly, and deliver solutions that balance legal certainty with commercial reality.

Whether you are a start-up, an SME, or a growing company, my role is to help you protect your interests, reduce risk, and use the law as a tool for innovation and long-term success.
