Van Schalkwyk Attorneys
Van Schalkwyk Attorneys began as a partnership in June 2010. What started as a very small business has grown incrementally over the years to the successful litigation practice it is today.
The directors attribute the remarkable growth of the firm to the value of their services, the loyalty of their clientele (ranging from individuals to large companies) and the quality of their staff. The retention of clients means that their clients grow with the practice. The advantage is that any advice and/or services sought comes with a pre-existing background to their clients’ matters. Van Schalkwyk Attorneys has become a boutique legal practice able to offer an attentive and specialised service to each client.
New clients quickly feel comfortable within the litigation process due to the co-operative and synergistic approach. Our attorneys never forget they are our clients’ agents and therefore our clients know exactly what we are doing, why we are doing it and when we will do it within the litigation process.
In our ever changing and dynamic environment, Van Schalkwyk Attorneys keeps abreast of the latest developments within the law, ensuring the best advice possible throughout the litigation process. Receiving the best possible advice possible at an early stage ensures a cost-effective process.
