Owned & run by John Smith - senior attorney and prior advocate
JOHN SMITH & ASSOCIATES was started in 1996 when the owner, John Smith, was admitted as an Attorney after having practiced as an Advocate from 1985. The firm was initially incorporated into Scheepers & Associates in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town. In 1998 it shared office space with Pienaar, Rathbone & Posthumus but relocated to the CBD of Cape Town during 2002.
As the owner had obtained prior experience as a Public Prosecutor and as a Legal Adviser for a multi-facetted corporate company, his practice as an Advocate and the ethos of his Attorney’s firm has naturally followed the direction of litigation and mediation. In addition to enjoying a close relationship with MDW Inc., an Attorney’s firm which specialises in conveyancing and property transactions and has a Notarial footprint, the owner is also a director of South African Mediation Services (Pty) Ltd.
