Tlou Bontle CHOKOE

Attorney
Polokwane

Summary

With years of civil litigation experience, I found that companies lack the basic legal skills to keep them away from the courts. My passion has now shift to growing and protecting companies from legal issues as well as to assist them in locating their worth through intellectual property. I never see problems, only opportunities to grow.
