Request your Legal Strategy Document

Share the basics about the tenancy so I can check for conflicts, see how urgent your matter is, and prepare your written strategy. Your email is required so I can follow up.

1. The Basics

Jurisdiction: This service currently covers South African legal matters only.

Are you currently represented by another attorney, union, or advisor?

Needed so I can check for any potential conflict of interest before reviewing.

2. The Case Categorization

Is this matter urgent—for example a hearing within 7 days, eviction or lockout, a CCMA deadline, a court date, utility disconnection, maintenance hardship, or anything else that may need attention sooner than the usual 2–3 business day turnaround?

Examples: hearing within 7 days; eviction or lockout; CCMA deadline; court date; utility disconnection; maintenance hardship.

Lease start, when arrears began, breach notice or letter of demand date, vacate or eviction deadline. (Used to assess if the matter is too urgent for the usual 3-business-day turnaround.)

3. The Facts

Keep this tight (not a long essay). Maximum 2000 characters.

Tip: Bullet points or short timelines work best.

0 / 2000

e.g. "I want lawful arrears recovery," "I want to claim damages against the deposit," "I want a PIE-compliant eviction roadmap and to know when to bring in litigation counsel."

4. Upload relevant documents

Signed lease, breach notices or letters of demand, written communication with the tenant, deposit and damages records, or any other documents relevant to the matter.

Upload guidance

  • Accepted formats: PDF, DOCX, JPG, and PNG.
  • If a document is password-protected, remove the password before uploading.
  • Avoid uploading unnecessary sensitive personal information—include only what is relevant to the legal issue.

Mandatory: This service includes review of up to 5 pages. If your documents exceed this, you may receive a custom quote or a refund.

5. Procedure

Is there a signed written lease?
Was the deposit paid?
Was the deposit handled in line with the lease (e.g. prescribed account, if applicable)?
Self-help conduct — tick anything that applies
Was a formal breach notice sent?
Is the tenant still in occupation of the property?

This service does not include court appearances, attorney-on-record services, or litigation representation unless that is separately agreed in writing.
