Where the Law Meets the Wild
Fierce Advocate. Wild at Heart.
Born from a deep reverence for Africa’s landscapes and an unshakeable belief that every living creature deserves legal protection, I built this practice at the intersection of law, land, and life.
From the Kruger’s borders to the courtrooms of Johannesburg, I navigate the complex terrain of animal and environmental law across Africa — advising conservancies, game reserves, pet owners, farmers, and wildlife operators with the same ferocity I bring to every case.
My practice is rooted in the African bush, informed by decades of field experience, and driven by a single conviction: animals cannot speak for themselves, so I speak for them.
