WHO WE ARE
We are a dynamic and vibrant litigation practice, founded by our Partners, namely Angela Theron and Karen Maybery-van Niekerk.
We are driven by passion, compassion, discipline and integrity, which allows us to offer excellent services to our clients. We strive to ensure personal and hands on accessibility to our clients in order to establish and sustain reciprocal relationships of trust.
OUR KEY SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES INCLUDE:
We are patient, compassionate and understanding towards our clients in circumstances of a sensitive nature.
We possess the ability to gauge when an aggressive or stern approach is required, versus a sensitive approach in various situations, being a quality we regard as being pertinent to the success of any client’s case.
We are resourceful and strategic problem-solvers.
OUR SERVICES
We strive to establish long-term professional relationships with our clients. We value the realisation that our success is built and dependent on the support and on-going business of our clients. In turn, we strive to offer hands on excellent quality services.
THERON AND MAYBERY ATTORNEYS are focused and driven within the following fields of law:

Alternative Dispute Resolution:
An aggressive litigation strategy is on many occasions necessary and appropriate. However, we are firm in our belief, that depending on the nature and circumstances of each case, a conciliatory approach can at times better serve the clients interests. Certain disputes are however, predictable and often avoidable. We therefore strive to apply the correct litigation strategies from the outset, so as to ensure the best possible and cost effective outcome for our clients.
Debt recovery / Collections.
Labour Law.
FAMILY LAW:
We are a specialised Divorce and Family Law team. Due to the nature and the dynamics of the family unit, and the negative impact divorces by their very nature may have on the relationships within the family unit, we firmly believe that these matters need to be approached in a sensitive manner which is conducive to minimising acrimony between all concerned in an attempt to keep the relationships intact.
THERON AND MAYBERY ATTORNEYS strongly and actively advocate children’s rights and firmly believe that the child’s best interests are of paramount importance.
We work in close association with Family Law experts such as Family Advocates, Social Workers and Forensic Psychologists so as to ensure that the best interests of the children and the family unit as a whole are served. Our constant interaction with appropriate experts enriches our experience and understanding of the intricate and diverse dynamic of the family unit so as to enable us to afford our client’s an insightful and improved service.
