Commercial Law Firm, Pretoria
DS Attorneys advises businesses and individuals across commercial disputes, construction, and technology law. Director-led from the first consultation to the final outcome.
About the firm
DS Attorneys is a Pretoria-based commercial law firm led by Director Dondré Samuels, built to give businesses and individuals direct access to sharp, practical legal advice. Rather than treating clients as case numbers, we invest the time to understand each client's goals and risks, then build a legal strategy around what actually moves their business forward.
Our practice sits at the intersection of traditional commercial law and the industries shaping South Africa's economy today: construction, technology, and cross-sector commercial trade. That combination allows us to advise clients not just on what the law says, but on how it plays out in practice, in their specific industry.
Our services
We represent businesses and individuals in commercial and civil litigation, working to resolve disputes efficiently while protecting our clients' financial and reputational interests. Every matter is approached with a clear strategy from the outset, so clients understand their position and options at every stage.
Beyond the courtroom, we guide clients through mediation, negotiation, and arbitration to reach faster, cost-effective outcomes. Our focus is on resolving conflict in a way that preserves relationships and value wherever possible, while remaining ready to litigate firmly when required.
We advise contractors, developers, and property owners on the full lifecycle of construction matters, from contract drafting and tender disputes to delay claims and defects liability, helping clients avoid costly project disruptions.
As technology reshapes how businesses operate, we help clients navigate software licensing, data protection, service level agreements, and technology procurement, ensuring their digital operations are legally sound and future-proof.
We draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements that protect our clients' interests while enabling their business goals, from shareholder agreements to supply and service contracts, backed by clear, practical legal advice.
