Establishment And Expertise

Du Toit Attorneys and Specialist Labour Practitioners was established in 1999 by the Firm’s Director, Maria Du Toit.

Maria has a passion for the law and has extensive experience in various practice areas. The Firm specializes in Labour Law but does not limit itself to only Labour related matters.

There is a strong interaction between Labour Law and other areas of law, such as criminal law, law of contract and non-legal arenas, such as forensic accounting, which often comes into play in Labour Law matters. The Firm specializes in Labour Law and all of its facets.

The Firm prides itself on being able to address all of its Clients’ legal matters and providing a boutique service. Our Firm’s success is based on attention to detail, dedication to clients’ matters, regular progress reports and feedback, transparency and fair accounting practices.

Often the successful outcomes are secured by implementing tried and tested legal strategies.

 

Testimonials

Our client's name was cleared and her honour and dignity restored. It was indeed a pleasure to assist the Applicant in this process in order to ensure she received a measure of justice.

We drafted the Application and completed the referral form for him and succeeded in having Condonation granted. We thereafter settled the matter.

The matter was referred to the CCMA for an unfair dismissal. Conciliation failed and we referred the matter to Arbitration.

Our Firm was instructed to oppose the Condonation.

On the second day, after hearing only opening statements by the parties' respective legal representatives, the matter became settled.

Committed To Your Legal Success

 

The Firm’s success rate is excellent (95% plus) and the success stories of clients speak for themselves.

Du Toit Attorneys and Specialist Labour Practitioners have taken on the giants of South Africa such as Transnet, Spoornet, Road Accident Fund, South African Police Services, State Security Agency, Department of Health and Department of Trade and Industry, a major construction and investment company and other companies and non-profit organisations including but not limited to the auditing, fruit industry as well as the formal church sector and reaped major success for their clients.

The Firm has also represented employers in the telecommunications, plastic and other manufacturing industries, pig farming, optometrist and audiologist practices as well as the financial services industry and we have stood firm for our clients to their advantage.

Our representation of both employer and employee allows us to implement legal strategy to the advantage of our clients, irrespective of their status.
