What we do

Practice areas

Six areas, one attorney. Below is an overview of the work Anna-Marie takes on most often — if your matter doesn't fit neatly into a category, get in touch and ask; sole practitioners are used to that conversation.

Conveyancing & Property Transfers

Property transactions done right, from offer to registration. Anna-Marie manages the process directly with you, the other party's attorney, the bank and the Deeds Office, so nothing stalls quietly in someone's inbox.

  • Residential and commercial property transfers
  • Bond registrations and bond cancellations
  • Sectional title transfers
  • Deeds Office queries and title deed matters
  • Registration and cancellation of servitudes
  • Cancellation of limiting title deed conditions

Commercial & Contract Law

Agreements written and reviewed around your actual deal — not recycled boilerplate. You'll know exactly what you're signing, and why, before you sign it. This is backed by more than two decades of commercial and corporate legal experience, including several years leading the legal, compliance and company secretarial function of a large, listed group — from everyday supplier contracts through to board-level transactions.

  • Drafting and reviewing commercial agreements
  • Sale-of-business agreements
  • Sale of immovable property agreements
  • Lease, supplier and service agreements
  • Shareholder and partnership agreements
  • Memoranda of Incorporation, board charters and governance policies
  • Support on mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructuring
  • Contract management
  • Terms and conditions of trade / website terms of use
  • Supplier and customer agreement templates
  • Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements
  • Credit application and debt-recovery documentation
  • Employment contracts and workplace policies
  • POPIA-compliant contracts and data-processing agreements
  • The option of your own legal counsel on hand, on a monthly retainer basis negotiated around your specific needs and company profile

Notarial Services

Notarial deeds executed correctly and, where required, registered without unnecessary back-and-forth.

  • Antenuptial contracts
  • Notarial bonds
  • Powers of attorney
  • General notarial deeds and certifications

Estate Planning & Trusts

Planning ahead for your family and your assets — and, when the time comes, guiding the people left to wind things up. Handled with the same plain-language, one-attorney attention as every other matter in this practice.

  • Drafting and updating wills
  • Estate planning strategies, including tax-efficient structuring
  • Establishment and registration of trusts (testamentary and inter vivos)
  • Trust administration and trust deed amendments
  • Assistance with deceased estate administration

General Legal Advisory

Not every legal question needs a full matter opened. For plain, practical advice on where you stand before you commit to anything — a quick call is often the right first step.

  • Pre-signature contract review
  • Plain-language guidance on legal correspondence
  • Referrals where a matter falls outside the practice's scope

Compliance Services

Keeping your business on the right side of the rules that actually apply to it — without turning governance into paperwork for its own sake. Handled with the same plain-language, one-attorney attention as every other matter in this practice.

  • Regulatory compliance audits
  • Compliance risk management and support
  • Compliance policy development
“Clear counsel, all the way to the other side.”
