Our Services

Litigation is often considered as one of the most time consuming and costly areas of practice in law. 

At Beukes & Sonja Nel we first assess the merits and prospects of success of each case and advise our clients on the most expeditious and cost effective options.

We offer a wide range of litigation and consultation services to individual and corporate clients including banks in South Africa. Our litigation department is renowned for taking on and succeeding in complex and challenging litigation processes.

When you are accused or charged with a criminal offence, it is important to know your rights and to obtain competent legal representation immediately.

We understand the adverse consequences that an arrest or a criminal charge may have on you and your relatives.

We are here to provide professional legal representation and support in order to mitigate such consequences to the best of our ability.
