Attorney & Licensed Real Estate Agent / Property Practitioner -
Provides both legal services and licensed estate agency services.
Our firm is founded on strong academic credentials, extensive legal training, and over a decade of high-level professional experience across legal practice, corporate environments, and the financial services sector.
Carissa Fismer Van Schalkwyk, the firm's principal attorney, completed a BCom Law (2005) and LLB (2007) at the University of Pretoria, followed by a Master of Laws (LLM) in Commercial Law (2013) from the University of Stellenbosch. This solid academic foundation underpins the firm's focus on commercial, business, and property-related legal services.
Articles of clerkship were completed at Raymond McCreath Attorneys in Somerset West, with admission as an Attorney of the High Court in 2010, in Cape Town. Early legal practice provided hands-on experience in private practice before transitioning into the corporate sector in 2011.
For the past 10 years, the firm's principal attorney has worked extensively within the South African banking sector, specialising in financial crime, regulatory compliance, and risk-related legal matters. This experience offers clients a distinct advantage: a deep understanding of how legal advice operates within complex corporate, regulatory, and financial environments.
Today, the firm combines traditional legal expertise with real-world commercial insight, offering practical, solution-driven legal services that are both technically sound and commercially astute. We pride ourselves on professionalism, discretion, and providing clear, strategic legal guidance tailored to each client's needs.
The firm offer mobile legal services, meaning we consult with clients at their homes, workplaces, or any convenient location. This allows you to receive professional legal assistance without needing to travel to a traditional law office. Online Consultations can also be arranged.
