Cecilia Prinsloo van der Linde
Attorney at Law

When someone comes to me with a legal problem, I guide them through it myself. Precision on the page, and a real person on the other end of the line.

Cecilia Prinsloo van der Linde has practised for more than 23 years. She holds an LL.M cum laude and is an Admitted Attorney of the High Court and a Conveyancer.

She founded the firm in 2008 on a simple boutique model: fewer clients, closer attention, and the senior attorney on every matter from first consultation to final order. In litigation and in contracts, the detail is the case, and detail takes time.
