About Luitingh & Associates

Luitingh & Associates was founded in 1995 by Jan Herman Luitingh and works from Suite 5, Athos Chambers, 10 Austwick Road in Rondebosch. Before starting the firm he was a legal adviser at the SABC and a partner at Herbsteins, a firm later absorbed into Cliffe Dekker. He has more than 40 years in practice, and one of his early cases was the Groesbeek poisoning murder trial. Anyuschka Nett, a senior litigation attorney and conveyancer with over 15 years of admission, works alongside him with two legal associates, Alexa Rubin and Morgan Lehy, and candidate attorney Camryn Smith.

Litigation runs through most of the work, from the Magistrates' Court to High Court appeals. Family law is a large part: divorce, custody and contact, maintenance, adoption, protection orders and mediation. The firm has brought Hague Convention applications to return abducted children, including children taken to Brazil. It also handles insurance, construction, injury and employment disputes, insolvency, landlord and tenant cases, conveyancing, estates and trusts, and debt recovery. The firm says its clients have included banks such as First National Bank and Standard Bank, and retailers such as Woolworths.

Fees depend on how complex and urgent a matter is, where it will be heard and how long it should take. The firm says costs are explained at the start. An emergency number is listed for urgent matters.
