Biography

Widely recognised for her broad practice offering and ability to provide high profile commercial resolution to clients across all sectors in both contentious and non-contentious matters, Bronwyn is acknowledged by her peers and both employers and employees as a highly experienced and competent specialist in her field.

From a contentious perspective, these include appearance work in the CCMA and other Bargaining Councils, primarily on behalf of employers defending all types of claims of unfair employment practices, dismissal or unfair retrenchment, where the CCMA or the Bargaining Council would have jurisdiction.

In addition, Bronwyn also deals with other types of claims relating to, inter alia, collective bargaining, and organisational rights disputes. She has been involved in defending large scale claims in the Labour Court where trade unions have referred mass dismissal disputes for adjudication pertaining to the dismissals of their members for operational requirements. She has also been involved in a number of high profile urgent interdicts for large commercial clients. 

Bronwyn’s expertise has frequently led to her being approached by both employees and employers to act in interdictory actions such as restraint of trade breaches heard in the Labour Court.

A significantly large practice area in which Bronwyn is involved in is the reviewing of arbitration awards in the Labour Court.
