Profile
Pieter is the founding member of the firm and has been practising law for more than 40 years.

Part of his studies included political sciences, and soon after he was admitted as an attorney of the High Court, he also became actively involved in local government matters. At the age of 32, he was elected as probably the youngest mayor ever of the City of Roodepoort.

After the establishment of the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council, he served as a member of the executive committee of the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council where he gained valuable experience not only in business and managerial skills, but also local government law.

Pieter heads up the commercial and financial divisions of the firm, and over a period of four decades he has been involved in multiple facets of property development including commercial developments such the Clearwater Regional Shopping Centre, Westgate Regional Shopping Centre, development of the Makro (Strubensvalley) Retail node as well as various other commercial and industrial property developments. In addition hereto, he has also been involved in the development of various golf estates and residential property developments ranging from freestanding residential developments to high density residential ventures.

Pieter is passionate about drafting commercial contracts and has extensive experience in High Court and Magistrates’ Court litigation, involving a wide variety of legal fields.

He has served for several years and is currently still serving as a Commissioner of the Small Claims Court.

He has a keen interest in sport, particularly rugby and golf, and each year he hunts in the Karoo to ensure an adequate supply of biltong to share with friends and family.

He is also a lover of art and has painted various landscapes himself.
