Message

As a self-employed Advocate and member of the Johannesburg Society of Advocates, I represent clients in civil and constitutional matters in the High Court. My work includes public procurement disputes, administrative reviews, refugee matters, and drafting opinions, heads of argument, affidavits, and pleadings.

I'm developing a practice in information technology, constitutional, and intellectual property law, with a particular interest in data protection, AI, and digital rights. I'm studying for a Postgraduate Diploma in Cyber Law at the University of the Witwatersrand, building on my earlier experience in IT support and voice administration.
