A specialised law firm dealing exclusively with family law in South Africa.
Benita Ardenbaum graduated from the University of KwaZulu-Natal with a BA.LLB Degree in 1993 and began her law career as prosecutor with the Department of Justice KwaZulu-Natal.
With over 20 years experience in family law, an extensive network of professional collaborators and a passion for seeing her clients take charge of their lives, she has ensured the success of this unique law practice.
Beyond the average, one-dimensional approach, Benita’s holistic practice of family law has seen her clients receive counsel from a team of psychologists, financial planners and property experts.
With 2 decades of professional experience, both locally and abroad, Benita’s work has earned her the respect of both peers and clients alike. Her litigation experience lies in the field of family law, involving cases such as divorce, parental responsibilities and rights, spousal maintenance and most importantly, the well-being of children and the empowerment of her clients.
Each case is unique and takes on a fully comprehensive approach -
"I draw on a panel of professionals, and I specialise in family law - that means everything from the division of large estates to domestic violence matters. I have a special interest in children and specialist knowledge in child law, which includes children’s rights, parental responsibilities & rights, guardianship & child maintenance, as well as international abduction cases and Hague Convention matters. We work with both men and women who often feel disempowered – financially, physically or emotionally. We work together to make sure that every aspect of the client's life is addressed. It's a collaborative effort and my clients leave empowered.' - Benita Ardenbaum
