Jacques Classen Attorneys

Jacques Classen Attorneys was established by Jacques Classen and was born out of the need to be able to provide creative “out of the box” legal solutions, without being hamstrung by outdated philosophies and views regarding the role of a lawyer in the property development arena. With the ever-changing Municipal milieu, the face of development changes exponentially and makes it difficult for professionals in the property development sector to operate effectively and efficiently. Well established legal principles evolve rapidly within the constitutional, public and administrative law sphere with new legislation being enacted continuously. Town planning, municipal infrastructure, municipal finance, municipal systems and structures and environmental issues seem to become more important than the legal principles that should guide them. In an administration that is flailing and failing, it is of the utmost importance that applications to be lodged are prepared in such a manner that the content thereof can be properly represented at a hearing, are also legally in order, not only to assist the processing of the application, but also to avoid applications being turned down on technical points. It is here, where the role of an experienced lawyer becomes important. We believe that the legal solution, properly applied, relating to legal principles that underpin development issues, is the key to success. Allow us to provide you with tailor made strategic legal solutions that utilise experience and excellence to make your applications and developments successful.
