Whether you are a business owner, homeowner, or individual, we have the legal insight and litigation experience to protect your interests and help you navigate challenging disputes.

Our litigation services include:

Evictions
We assist landlords and property owners in lawfully evicting unlawful occupiers in full compliance with the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE). We handle both residential and commercial evictions, from notice to final court order.

Divorce & Family Disputes
We offer sensitive and strategic representation in divorce matters and annulments, including contested and uncontested divorces, as well as childcare, maintenance, and parental responsibilities. Our team also assists with broader family-related disputes and litigation.

Breach of Contract & Contractual Disputes
We represent clients in a wide variety of contractual disputes, including those relating to services, sales, leases, and construction. Our goal is to resolve matters efficiently while protecting your rights.

Partnership & Business Disputes

Property Disputes
We litigate a broad range of property-related disputes, including boundary disputes, title issues, co-ownership disagreements, servitudes, and sectional title matters.

Civil Litigation
Our civil litigation practice encompasses a wide array of matters before the District Magistrates’ Court, Regional Magistrates’ Court, and High Court. We are skilled in both trial (action) and motion (application) proceedings, ensuring that every case is strategically prepared and expertly argued.

Personal Injury and Third-Party Claims
From accidents to slip-and-falls, we help parties pursue fair compensation for pain, suffering, loss of income, and medical expenses. We assist clients in pursuing third-party claims where another party bears legal responsibility for loss or damage suffered. Whether arising from motor vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, or other situations involving third-party liability, we guide clients through the process of establishing fault, quantifying damages, and securing the compensation they are entitled to.

Construction Defects
We represent homeowners, developers, and contractors in claims relating to poor workmanship, defective building materials, and contractual non-compliance in the building and construction industry.

Consumer Litigation
We advise and represent clients in matters involving the Consumer Protection Act, including disputes with suppliers, service providers, and warranty claims.
