Admitted as an Attorney in 1995, as a Notary in 2001 and as a Conveyancer in 2005. Commenced with my legal career as a candidate attorney at Greyvensteins Nortier in Port Elizabeth. Appointed as a director at Greyvensteins Nortier at the end of 1997 and became a shareholder during the following year. My practice at Greyvensteins Nortier developed from a High Court litigation practice to a commercial practice where I specialised in the negotiating and drafting of agreements and also attended to the conveyancing which often followed from these transactions. In 2006 I resigned from Greyvensteins Nortier to pursue a lifelong dream of a cross continental journey from South Africa to the United Kingdom by road. Whilst travelling I decided to establish a smaller law firm, focusing on commercial and property related matters, which lead to the opening of DTS Attorneys during November 2006. I am also actively involved in the management of my personal property portfolio, comprising commercial and residential properties and is also a trustee for the family run farming enterprises in the Free State.
