About Coutts Fraser & Associates

Coutts Fraser & Associates is a small firm of attorneys and notaries at 15 Schultz Road in Nahoon, East London. It was formed at the start of 2020 when Jenny Fraser teamed up with Tammy Coutts. Jenny had worked as a professional assistant at another East London firm since 2007. She holds an LLB from UNISA, with electives in criminal law, forensic medicine, advanced family law and civil litigation.

Family law is the core of the practice. The partners handle divorce litigation and divorce mediation, maintenance claims, children's court cases about parental rights and contact, domestic violence and harassment orders, antenuptial contracts and parenting plans. The firm's website links to research and news coverage on how poorly the Maintenance Act works for people without lawyers, which reflects its interest in maintenance cases. It also does civil litigation, delict claims and commercial contracts.

There are no support staff, so a partner handles each matter personally. The firm will travel to clients in Makhanda, Port Alfred, Kenton-on-Sea and Gqeberha, and takes correspondent instructions from other firms for matters in the East London courts.
