General Practice

General Legal Practice

A broad legal practice for clients who need a matter assessed and, where appropriate, taken further.

Tsotetsi Attorneys is a general legal practice based in Johannesburg. Clients bring criminal, civil, family, labour, personal-injury and private-client matters. The first task is often to understand the problem and to say whether, and how, the firm can assist.

Not every enquiry becomes a matter the firm accepts. Where it does, the work follows the client’s instructions. A list of the main practice areas is on the services page.

High Court appearances

The firm appears in the High Court where a matter requires it. Whether the High Court is the correct court depends on the case. An appearance is part of the litigation work. It is not a separate promise about the result.

How Tsotetsi Attorneys can assist

  • An initial assessment of an enquiry
  • Advice on the area of law that appears to apply
  • Direction to the relevant practice area within the firm
  • Representation, drafting or further advice where instructed
  • High Court appearances as part of litigation work

What to expect

Not every enquiry follows the same path, and not every enquiry is accepted. The outline above is a general description only.

  1. Initial consultation
  2. Assessment of the facts the client can provide
  3. Advice on the options that may be available
  4. Agreement on the work, if the firm accepts the instruction
  5. The further steps that instruction covers
