Claims and consumer law
A fair hearing against bigger players.
When a fund, an insurer or a supplier will not deal with you fairly, we make sure your claim is properly made and properly heard.
Our approach
Funds, insurers and suppliers deal with claims every day. Most individuals do not. We even the table: we set out your claim clearly, deal with the other side directly, mediate where possible and litigate where necessary.

Contracts
Agreements drafted or reviewed before you sign, and disputes when the other side does not keep to the terms.
-
06
Civil mediation
Any other dispute that two parties would rather settle than litigate: between neighbours, business partners, community members or family.
Mediation first
Why mediation works here.
We start at the table because, in these matters, it usually gives the better result.
-
Your claim, clearly made
A well-prepared claim is harder to ignore and quicker to settle.
-
Someone who knows the process
Funds, insurers and the Road Accident Fund have their own procedures. We know how to work through them.
-
Court when necessary
If the other side will talk, we negotiate. If not, we take the matter further.
