Rudolf is a Legal Cost Consultant based in Johannesburg, and has been in the industry since 1991.

Expertise

I ensure that my staff and I are up to date with legislation, case law and fee structures to confirm that my clients' bills of cost are prepared accordingly and professionally.

I provide assistance and legal advice on costs during the litigation process and, should it be necessary I also attend to in-house training on file management for the purpose of drafting and taxing your bill of cost.

I attend to drafting, taxing and opposing bills of cost in the following courts:

  • Constitutional Court
  • Supreme Court of Appeal
  • Competition Commission and Competition Tribunal
  • High Court
  • Labour Court and Labour Appeal Court
  • Regional Court
  • Magistrates' Court
  • Law Society Assessments
  • Legal Practice Council Assessments

I have a messenger that will be at your service to collect and deliver your files to and from our offices for your convenience.

Your files and information are handled with the utmost care and confidentiality.

My door is always open and should I not be available, my competent personnel are at the ready to assist you with any query which you may have, telephonically or in person.
