About Justin Cloete
I take a meticulous and strategic approach to every matter, with a strong focus on understanding the facts and identifying the important issues. My 11 years of litigation experience have taught me the importance of preparation, attention to detail and thinking beyond the obvious solution, with the aim of protecting my clients’ interests and achieving the most practical and sustainable resolution for them.
I find employment law particularly rewarding because it sits at the intersection of legal principle and people’s livelihoods. Workplace disputes can have significant and lasting impacts on individuals, often when they are already under considerable pressure. I aim to provide clear and practical advice that allows clients to understand their position and the steps available to them, while remaining focused on achieving the most effective outcome.
