WHERE PASSION MEETS EXCELLENCE
Legal Services To Meet Your Requirements
When a client experiences injustice in a private matter such as unpaid debts, unlawful occupants occupying property or a threat to their civil liberties, they will need intervention from the Court as the judicial branch of government in order to enforce their rights or to prevent an encroachment on their rights.
The Court must be approached by specific procedure and in accordance with complex rules. We are trained experts on these rules and procedures in order to ensure that your case represented to the Courts are clear, concise and is presented in the best possible manner.
PROCESS TO BOOK A CONSULTATION
DRAFTING CONTRACTS
Contracts, big or small, oral or in writing, form the basis of most legal relationships in everyday life. An everyday challenge for us attorneys are where parties seek to enforce an agreement, only to find that the opposing party is able to exploit certain defects in a contract such as that it can have multiple interpretations or that some of the terms were not reduced to writing. This leads to lengthy, expensive and unnecessary litigation.
It is an art to draft a contract that is to the point, unambiguous and easy to understand by any person having to peruse it.
URGENT APPLICATIONS
In the normal course, an application to court can take several months to finalise, however the Court, in very specific circumstances and upon meeting strict requirements, can deviate from the normal rules relating to time periods and manners of service and order the matter to be heard as on urgent basis, which can be heard as soon as the same day on which the application is issued.
Deviation form the rules are however reserved for those circumstances where a persons rights will be adversely affected if not for the urgent intervention of a Court, examples are lockouts or a parent intending to flee the Republic with a minor child without the consent of the other parent.

EVICTION & RENTAL CLAIMS
Eviction services are aimed at landlords, property investors or other persons with right or title in and to property who spend many resources on a property with the hope of generating a rental income from such property only to find that the tenant fails to pay rent and further fails or refuse to vacate the property.
We ensure that the strict requirements for an eviction as set out in the Prevention of Illegal Eviction and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act are met and that an order for the ejectment of the unlawful occupant is obtained as soon as possible.
DISCIPLINARY HEARINGS
In many circumstances companies are faced with an employee who requires to be disciplined or even dismissed on the basis of either misconduct or incapacity to perform duties. Once the employee was dismissed, the employer receives a notice to attend conciliation/arbitration proceedings at the CCMA and having to pay an employee compensation.
We provide private services as independent presiding officers who ensures that the correct procedures are followed, and just disciplinary action is taken against an employee if necessary. If the circumstances warrant a dismissal, we ensure that your case before the CCMA is ready in as far as possible to avoid compensation to be paid.
DEBT COLLECTIONS
Debt collections are in most cases simply enforcement of a contract where in the vast majority of cases dealt with by Scheepers Inc, our clients rendered some form of service or sold some form of goods and after rendering their invoices for performing such services or delivering such goods, the debtors fail or refuse to pay or conjure up defenses for the non-payment.
In order to enforce payment, we enlist a number of lawful tactics ranging from telephone calls, letters of demand, blacklisting, obtaining judgment and the pursuit of execution thereof and in some instances to liquidate companies or sequestrate the estates of persons unable to pay their debts.
CONTRACT ENFORCEMENT
Ties in to drafting of contracts. Most of the litigation dealt with by our Civil Courts pertain to some form or another of a breach of contract. There are several procedures available to a party aggrieved by a breach of contract, which ranges from alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation or arbitration and includes your most formal dispute resolution mechanism, being litigation before a Court of law.
DIVORCES / FAMILY MATTERS
Many people find themselves in the situation where they have become estranged from their spouse who they once loved or find horrific evidence of infidelity and to make matters worse there are minor children involved and a mortgage bond and vehicles to be paid.
The situation is unbearable and permanent separation in the form of divorce is inevitable. One must be very wise and have expertise in the procedure when navigating the minefield of a divorce matter in order to ensure that the emotions involved do not steer the course of a matter requiring logic and reasoning. Our attorneys find the perfect balance between being caring yet maintaining objective.
LOCKOUTS / SPOLIATION
The law requires strict and specific compliance with the Prevention of Illegal Eviction and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act before it will grant an eviction order and many landlords feeling frustrated by the situation and in an attempt to avoid the expense, conduct their own unlawful evictions of tenants in several creative manners such as to restrict access to the premises, disconnect water and/or electricity etc.
This is illegal and can be immediately rectified with a spoliation order in terms whereof the Court restores unrestricted access and enjoyment of the property to the tenant pending finalisation of the eviction case, if any.
CREDIT REPAIR / REHABILITATION
Persons find themselves unable to successfully apply for credit on the basis thereof that they are either blacklisted or a judgment is reflecting against their credit profiles.
We draw records for our clients in order to identify the scope of the issue and thereafter render services in order to repair their account by either interacting with the Credit bureaus or to bring applications for the rescission of judgment.
We also where a person was sequestrated and qualifies for rehabilitation, assist with the application to the High Court for rehabilitation of the insolvent in order to restore his/her status in society.
DRAFTING OF WILLS
Other than the title deed to your first property, a will is the most important document to be kept at your trustworthy attorney’s office. A will effectively ensures that your wishes are carried out after you have left this temporary dwelling. Families and friendships have been torn apart as a result of no will being in place or where a poorly drafted will became the subject of time consuming and costly High Court litigation. Ensure that your estate is left in competent hands and that your loved ones are taken care of when you are no longer here.
