Michele and I have worked as colleagues on opposing sides for our respective clients, on a regular basis, over a period of approximately 6 years. During this time I have come to know Michele as an extremely hard working, ethical individual, she always acted in the best interest of her clients, she has a sound knowledge of her fields of expertise and has always shown professional conduct towards both her clients and colleagues. In my view Michele would be an asset to any client or business who elects to work with her and I would recommend her without any hesitation

Our practice specializes in advising and litigating in respect of short term insurance law on behalf of insurers, underwriters, brokers and more. I deal with a wide variety of claims such as material damage, fire, vicarious liability, medical negligence, professional negligence and personal injury claims, recoveries as well as construction and engineering disputes in the various Courts with applicable jurisdiction in South Africa (Magistrate, Regional, High and Supreme Court of Appeal) and AFSA, as well as labour disputes in the Labour Court and Labour Appeal Court. I also advise on policy wording interpretation, repudiations of claims and more. In addition, I advise on, consider and draft commercial agreements relating to, for example, employment and labour aspects, delivery of goods, provision of services, residential and commercial lease agreements; company related matters (such as shareholder and sale agreements) and project specific contractual documentation from tender stage through to practical completion and defects liability periods. I also advise of statutory and regulatory compliance relating to specifically the short term insurance industry, including FAIS, POPIA, FICA, PAIA, PAJA and the like. Show less

Jun 2011 - Dec 2013
Due to my husband being retrenched, we relocated to Spain for a number of years, where he worked in the nuclear engineering industry. As I was unable to practise law there (I needed to write all exams in Spanish), I elected to teach business and legal English to professional people, including legal advisers and practicing lawyers. I provided legal assistance and advise to clients I retained in South Africa in South Africa and met in Spain in respect of its international property and commercial transactions, which included considering and advising in respect of contractual agreements - jurisdiction, liabilities, validity, risks, performance, breach of contract etc. I also learnt to speak and write Spanish, which language is currently at an elementary level.
