law offices of karen olivier, Durban

Durban Law Offices was founded by senior attorney, Karen Olivier, in 2011.

The mission of the firm is the recognition of the marginalized, the empowerment of the browbeaten, and the emancipation of the suppressed. Accomplished attorneys, Karen and Kerissa, focus on the needs and means of the individual in every dispute and are skilled and dedicated in designing and providing a unique and strategically structured tailor-made solution to suit each litigant’s dispute.

Any dispute and litigation creates conflict, insecurity, trepidation and panic of varying intensity. The team and support staff are aware that no two disputes are the same, and understand the emotional turmoil that a litigant faces, and are aware that every litigant has a different threshold when faced with dispute. Karen and Kerissa know and understand that some of us might be filled with terror and unease when counting down to a day in Court. Bearing this in mind, the team supports and guides its client through the legal process to achieve enforcement of their rights.

The team utilizes a hands on and personalized approach and first aims at achieving a friendly out of court settlement, to reduce the financial or emotional cost of litigation, with enforcement of a client’s rights as conviction and yard stick of settlement. Where settlement by way of undertaking or mediation or arbitration is not possible, and one must by necessity resort to the Courts, the team is equipped and well versed at considering, strategically creating, obtaining and completing a tailor-made solution to all dispute, utilizing differing approaches, and calling on experts from the firm’s readily accessible panel of experts, to guide and apprise the Judiciary in matters of non- law conflict.
