About

BT Attorneys is a law firm that specializes in employment and labour law. We practise out of Cape Town, South Africa servicing both employers and employees. We strive to apply sound legal principles and demonstrate impeccable ethical practices. What differentiates us from other law firms is a keen desire to serve while providing practical advice.

‘One of my life’s passions is to challenge the status quo when unjust inequity exists. To change the default of self-enrichment at the expense of others. In the words of Tom Brokaw: “It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference”. Through BT Attorneys, we aim to make a difference in all the right ways’.
