Our History

Matthee Attorneys History

For over 50 years, Matthee Attorneys has served the Fochville community since our establishment in 1971. What began as a small practice has grown into a highly respected legal firm, renowned for our professionalism, integrity, and client-focused approach. Throughout the decades, we have maintained an unwavering commitment to excellence while ensuring full compliance with South African legislation, including POPIA and PAIA.

Founded in 1971, Matthee Attorneys began as a small local practice specialising in general legal matters. From the very beginning, we emphasised ethical service and personal attention to our clients. This approach built trust and established a solid foundation for long-term growth.

Our early achievements in civil, commercial, and property-related matters quickly earned us a reputation for reliability and professionalism.

The 1980s and 1990s marked a period of significant expansion. We broadened our services to include conveyancing, estate administration, and notarial work. During this time, we invested heavily in staff development, modern office systems, and improved client service protocols.

By the early 2000s, Matthee Attorneys had established itself as a leading local legal practice, serving private clients, corporations, and financial institutions alike.

Legal Excellence and Compliance

We ensure that all our services comply fully with South African law. Our firm adheres strictly to POPIA, PAIA, and all other applicable legislation. This dedication to legal compliance reflects our commitment to accountability and professional excellence.
