Shianne is a South African-qualified attorney. Before moving into consultancy, she spent the bulk of her career in-house, advising on a broad range of legal and employment matters.
This experience gave her a practical understanding of how employment issues affect the wider business and the importance of balancing legal requirements with workplace realities. She approaches complex matters methodically, following each thread until the full context becomes clear. Naturally objective and factual, she remains mindful of the human element behind every employment dispute.
Shianne takes pride in giving clients thorough, well-reasoned advice grounded in the facts. Her aim is to ensure they feel confident that their matter has been considered from every angle, with careful attention to both the legal detail and the wider context.
Fun fact
Outside of work, Shianne fosters and rehabilitates rescue animals and is an equestrian. Horse riding calls for patience, precision and excellent negotiation skills, particularly when the other party has four legs, strong opinions and no interest in reading the rulebook.
It is a fitting complement to employment law: both involve responding to changing circumstances, competing priorities and the occasional unexpected development.
