About Frans Schutte & Mathews Phosa Inc

Frans Schutte & Mathews Phosa Inc (FSMP), earlier known as Frans Schutte Inc, is a personal injury firm at 19 William Lynn Street in White River, Mpumalanga. Founder Frans Schutte (B Juris et Comm, PU, and B.Proc) has practised as an attorney since 1985. His co-director is Dr Nakedi Mathews Phosa (B.Proc LLB, University of the North, honorary doctorate in law from Boston University). The firm says it has four branches and points to work in Nelspruit, Polokwane and Bloemfontein.

Its associates in White River are Jeremie Bezuidenhout, with the firm since 2000, Amanda Potgieter (since 2012), Störm Botha and Ruan Wessels (both since 2022) and Lia Myburg (since 2024). Correspondent attorneys at SDJ in Pretoria and Nelspruit, including director Durell de Jong, handle its court work there. The firm says it has a team of 17 legal staff and has settled about 16,700 claims.

The work is almost entirely injury claims: Road Accident Fund claims for drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and the families of people killed, as well as medical negligence and public liability claims.
