Jurgens Bekker Attorneys was founded in 1998 by Mr. Jurgens Bekker, the year in which he was admitted as an attorney. He began the firm as the sole practitioner, having completed his BA Law and LLB degrees from the University of Stellenbosch. From humble beginnings in the bustling and vibrant Johannesburg CBD, in the Kelhof Building, the firm has steadily grown over the past decade.
In January 2000, the firm relocated to its present building and today Jurgens Bekker Attorneys is a well-established law firm in the heart of Bedfordview. Our unique building lends itself to the unique way in which we handle our clients.
We, the staff at Jurgens Bekker Attorneys pride ourselves on providing our clients with an all-around experience by assisting them in all aspects of the law.
Our clients include individuals, small to medium businesses, and large multinational corporations.
Be the client an individual or a corporate, we understand that each client is different and their problems are not specific to one area of law. We are a dynamic law firm, with dedicated personnel who are committed to providing quality legal advice and service to both corporate and individual clients in South Africa and around the world.
Our young, capable and highly motivated team ensures that the vision and integrity with which this firm was established have remained the same. In order to provide quality service to our clients and in return achieve customer loyalty, we understand that individual and corporate clients require a practical understanding of their needs and frustrations.
Our success in retaining high-profile clients over a number of years is a testament to the understanding of such needs and frustrations.
You need to understand the client before you can understand their problem. Our levels of dedication to our clients have seen us establish long-standing, trustworthy and successful relationships. We consider ourselves to be true service providers in the South African legal fraternity.
