GENERAL INFORMATION:

I started my career in the legal field in 1979 when I joined the firm E I Naude and Company. I was with them for twelve (12) years, until 1991.

I then started working for Ramsay Webber and Company and I was with them for approximately three (3) years. (1991-1994)

I then worked at Webber Wentzel Attorneys for approximately one (1) year (1994-1995) and then returned to Ramsay Webber and Company (1995 – 1996).

After Ramsay Webber I joined the firm of Oliver and O’Connor (1996-2001).

After leaving Olivier and O’Connor I spent about one (1) year in the publishing business – Shorten Publications and thereafter joined Group 7 Innes Chambers as a typist for various junior and senior counsel.

I am very loyal and trustworthy. I love new challenges and can work under pressure.
