What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful client service.

I am Siphumelele Pearl Sikhosana, a dedicated legal professional with a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Kwa-Zulu-Natal and extensive experience in civil litigation. Since my admission as an attorney in October 2021, I have successfully managed my own firm, SP Sikhosana Attorneys Inc., where I provide comprehensive legal services, including general litigation, advisory on labor disputes, and drafting wills and trusts.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in legal research, drafting legal opinions, and court attendance. My role as Managing Director has allowed me to lead a team, ensuring compliance and regulatory adherence while fostering a culture of continuous learning and development. I am passionate about client relations and have a proven track record in managing case flow and enhancing client portfolios through effective communication and negotiation.
