For more than three decades, Dykes Van Heerden Attorneys and Conveyancers have served clients with dependable legal assistance. We have built our reputation by providing quality legal services and maintaining good relationships with our clients. 

Our firm was founded on friendship. It all began in Johannesburg with the partnership of Peter Dykes and Johan van Heerden in 1995. Later, Louis and Elana opened the Cape Town branch in 2004, and Chris Dykes then brought Lisa and Tom into the fold in 2011. 

What started as a passion for legal excellence quickly evolved into a firm driven by deep relationships and a vision to serve clients not just efficiently, but exceptionally. From its early days in Roodepoort through strategic partnerships and expansions, the firm was built on a foundation of trust, care, and commitment to getting the job done right.

As the firm grew across Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape, it never lost sight of what mattered most: people. At Dykes Van Heerden, relationship is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that legal expertise should go hand in hand with compassion, accessibility, and strategic excellence.
Our reputation was earned by being fast-paced, forward-thinking, and meticulous, making even the most complex property transfers, bond registrations, and notarial processes feel seamless for our clients. With every signature, every transfer, and every consultation, we’ve proven that caring for our clients and communities isn’t an added benefit, it’s in our DNA.

Today, Dykes Van Heerden stands as a market-leading law firm that continues to go beyond expectations. We’ve evolved, but our purpose remains the same: to guide every legal journey with clarity, efficiency, and unwavering care.
