Craig handles deceased estates with the kind of calm that makes even the most overwhelmed families feel like things might just be okay. He has a knack for turning complicated, grief-filled paperwork into a clear and manageable process, without unnecessary drama or legal jargon.

After some years abroad and a stint in London’s drizzle, we happily reclaimed Craig on his return home. He brings a dry, understated sense of humour to the office and a steady, practical approach to every matter he handles. Quietly efficient and incredibly dependable, Craig is often solving problems before anyone else has realised they exist. Outside the office, he is our resident braai master who is happiest somewhere between smoke, fire and feeding people far too much food. Whether he is managing estates, supporting the team or experimenting with something ambitious on the grill, Craig brings the same calm precision and reliability to everything he does.

Jon is an Attorney, Conveyancer, Notary Public and the general Go-To-Guy when there is a particularly complex, unusual or just plain difficult case. He has a sharp eye for detail and genuinely enjoys the technical side of the law whether that means refining trust structures, drafting watertight wills or making sure every clause says exactly what it should. His humour is subtle but his standards are not and he is known for being exceptionally thorough without ever making clients feel overwhelmed. Outside the office, Jonathan’s interests are just as varied, ranging from running and family life to an appreciation for odd socks and a good milk tart special. Much like his approach to law, he believes in consistency, preparation and getting things right the first time.

Jacques is a valued part of our estate administration team and someone clients quickly come to trust for his calm, thoughtful approach. He handles matters with care, patience and attention to detail, helping families navigate what is often a difficult and emotional process with as little stress as possible. Behind the scenes, Jacques manages everything from estate inventories and Master’s Office applications to SARS filings, quietly keeping matters progressing steadily and efficiently. He is meticulous in his work but never loses sight of the people behind the paperwork. Outside the office, Jacques volunteers as a chaplain and has founded a community-focused charity, reflecting his genuine commitment to helping others. He also shares his home with a very opinionated cat who, by all accounts, keeps him suitably humble. When compassion, reliability and careful attention to detail matter, Jacques is exactly the kind of person you want in your corner.

Raymond joined the firm as a junior estate administrator and quickly became known for his energy, initiative and ability to get things done. He brings strong people skills to estate administration, keeping clients informed, following up diligently and making sure matters keep moving instead of sitting in someone’s inbox for three weeks waiting for “just one signature.” He has a proactive, can-do attitude and is often the person saying, “Let me phone them quickly,” before anyone else has even opened a follow-up email. Clients appreciate his approachable nature and willingness to go the extra mile to keep communication clear and matters progressing smoothly.

Outside the office, Raymond’s favourite role is being dad to his energetic little red-haired son who keeps him thoroughly entertained and very much on his toes. Between the two of them, there is rarely a quiet moment.
