Emma Kolbe-Booysen

While working at Bornman & Hayward, I gained a wide range of knowledge, which includes the following,

• Gained practical exposure to litigation by observing proceedings in the High Court and various Magistrates' Courts.
• Assisted with lifting, filing, and managing court documents, ensuring compliance with procedural requirements.
• Engaged with Magistrates' Chambers to facilitate administrative and procedural tasks.
• Conducted FICA compliance checks, ensuring adherence to regulatory obligations.
• Performed legal research on case law and legislative frameworks to support attorneys in drafting arguments and opinions.
• Drafted legal documents, including particulars of claim, summonses, and other court pleadings, developing strong drafting and analytical skills.

This experience has equipped me with a strong foundation in legal practice, procedural knowledge, and practical skills.
