What separates competent legal representation from the rest comes down to specifics. Does your attorney know the difference between what SARS will accept in tax documentation versus what they'll question? Can they spot loopholes in a lease before you've signed it, or identify procedural errors that might derail a case? Do they understand how CIPC actually processes your company registration, or are they just filing forms? Genuine experience means knowing which courts move quickly and which ones don't, which judges prefer written submissions and which ones want oral argument, and how to prepare evidence that actually persuades rather than just impressive. It means understanding that a seemingly small procedural step—serving documents correctly, meeting a filing deadline—can determine everything. In commercial law especially, thoroughness and attention to detail aren't optional extras.

Confirming the attorney is current on the Legal Practice Council roll is a basic step before engaging. For Labour Court matters, attorneys specialising in employment law are strongly preferable to generalists.
