Jan-Hendrik is an accomplished corporate and commercial attorney who advises companies, executives, and investors on sophisticated business transactions and corporate dispute resolution. He specialises in transformational restructuring, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures, and strategic alliances, with a practice that extends across South Africa and into key international markets.

His clients include high-growth businesses, listed entities, and multinational groups undertaking cross-border transactions or seeking to align complex ownership and control structures with strategic goals. Known for his precision and business-centred approach, Jan-Hendrik helps clients close deals that balance commercial outcomes with compliance and long-term value creation.

In addition to his corporate work, Jan-Hendrik is deeply experienced in intellectual property (IP) law and the commercialisation of technology. He advises on brand licensing, franchise agreements, software development, and distribution networks, and regularly drafts and negotiates joint development, licensing, and technology transfer agreements. His work increasingly bridges the gap between law and innovation, particularly in blockchain transactions, software, and artificial intelligence (AI)—where emerging technologies demand forward-thinking legal frameworks.

Jan-Hendrik’s approach combines technical rigour with strategic clarity. He helps clients anticipate and mitigate legal risk, leverage intellectual property as a commercial asset, and execute deals that support long-term business sustainability and growth.

Outside of law, Jan-Hendrik is a husband and father of two, balancing family life with a practice shaped by purpose, precision, and curiosity for the evolving intersections of law, business, and technology.
