Staff Testimonials

I joined the Neil Esterhuysen and Associates team in 2013.  I am driven by challenges and by achieving positive and productive results.  The firm afforded me the opportunity to suitably and valuably apply myself in an advanced environment where I have opportunities of further growth, training and self-development.  I work with other highly experienced, competent and dedicated as well as trained professionals, from wide-ranging fields, that enhance my development, and that in turn enhance my professional advancement and proficiency.

Ronel Niemand, Conveyancing Paralegal

Take a chance…and I did! It is 10 years later, and I am still working with Neil Esterhuysen and Associates. I have learned extensively since the first day as a newly admitted conveyancer with very little experience, and I am still learning to this day. The different personality types in the firm make every day exciting and there is always time for a laugh. We work hard and that brings the best out of each and every one!

Andri Williams, Attorney & Conveyancer

What a privilege to be a Neil Esterhuysen and Associates employee for almost 17 years! Here, you get the opportunity and space to excel in your work.  With a dedicated team and everybody's contribution being vitally important, we make the wheel spin.  I have seen this firm grow over the past 16 years and anxiously look forward to the future.

Surita Janse van Rensburg, Accountant

I joined the Neil Esterhuysen and Associates team in 2013.  With the dynamic of the firm, I am provided with the opportunity to further and better myself as an attorney on a daily basis, and the learning never stops. With the dedicated team, I am looking forward to the next few years to come.

René Page , Attorney

I have been part of the team since the start of 2017. The Neil Esterhuysen and Associates team welcomed me with open arms and immediately became family. I believe what sets our firm aside from others is the fact that each department with their knowledge is always more than willing to advise or lend a help to the other side. The assistance and training I have received from my colleagues have helped me broaden my legal knowledge and understanding of the law and legal work environment. What I especially admire about the firm is the values we as a team share with our clients.

Lauzanne Engelbrecht, Litigation Paralegal

I was introduced to the Neil Esterhuysen and Associates, team in 2013 during the second year of my LL.B studies. Although being at an entry level of practice in the legal profession, the firm has so far given me the best of experiences that exceeded my expectations. The complexity of the various services offered at the firm and the responsibility of work given to me as a candidate attorney was something I thought would come with time after my admission. The extensive training and supervision of my work by the principal plays a pivotal role in building a career in the profession as well as maintaining the positive long-standing reputation of the firm. The firm is an exceptional family that functions as a well-oiled machine.

Moses Ngobeni, Attorney

I joined the Neil Esterhuysen and Associates team in November 2017. I am excited to be part of an energetic firm, who affords each person the opportunity to grow and prosper. We have a dynamic team, with a wide range of skills and expertise. The team is indeed a force to be reckoned with, and I look forward to the road ahead.

Shae-lee Huggett, Attorney & Conveyancer

I joined the Neil Esterhuysen and Associates team in 2017 as a first year LL.B student, starting as a candidate attorney in 2018. Working at the firm has been an intellectually satisfying experience as I have learnt so much in such a short time. My colleagues are extremely knowledgeable in their respective fields of the law, and have been prodigious at passing down this knowledge. On a day-to-day basis, I have been exposed to highly professional, yet friendly colleagues who are not only able to break down the National Credit Act for me, but also share a good laugh together. Working at this firm has been a noteworthy experience.

Bradey Theron , Candidate Attorney

I have been a candidate attorney at Neil Esterhuysen and Associates since the strat of 2019. Being a candidate attorney, I am eager to learn all there is to know about the law profession. I am excited to gain knowledge and experience at the firm that will help me become a successful attorney.
