History:

I focus on Commercial and Family Law Mediation, although I litigate in both fields should that be necessary. My primary goal is to help clients avoid the emotional and financial trauma that usually accompanies Commercial and Family Law litigation.

Mediation: Personal Commitment

Litigation can be overwhelming and stressful, both in the Commercial Law and Family Law fields. I am here to listen and to support you with understanding and respect. My aim is to help you solve legal issues with a minimum of emotional and financial distress. As a trained Mediator and Associate Member of the Mediation Society of South Africa, I try to avoid or de-escalate conflict and the associated legal costs.
