CWENGA CHRIS GOGODLA

I am currently serving as an Associate Attorney at Bate Chubb & Dickson Attorneys and more focused on growing and building a career on employment/labour law and commercial litigation.

I have gathered vast experience within employment law from negotiating with parties, representing employees and/or employers in internal disciplinary hearings, CCMA hearings and on various Bargaining Councils. I have even chaired internal disciplinary hearings and prepared disciplinary Outcome Reports, and even being involved in advancing review applications to the Labour Court.

I have strong communication skills, legal research skills and drafting legal documents. Over the years and through experience, I have also sharpened my litigation skills from civil to criminal matters.
