Our story
Founded in 2011, and run the same way ever since.
Wiese & Wiese was founded in 2011 on a simple philosophy: attentive enough to know every client, sharp enough to take on anyone.
Hein Wiese began his career in 2007 at a firm that specialises in insurance-related matters, cutting his teeth in short-term insurance litigation, and he still works on insurance matters daily.
Around that insurance core the firm has grown into a full practice of attorneys and cost consultants, handling everything from High Court trials to family wills. What has not changed is the way we work. Every instruction starts with a proper conversation and a short pilot to understand exactly what it needs, because no two matters are the same and we refuse to pretend otherwise. We are a modern firm too: reachable when you need us, always at the office even when we are not in it, so an urgent matter never waits for office hours.
We hold ourselves to a short list of values that we take seriously: honesty, integrity, honour, empowerment, respect, compassion, professionalism and legal development. They are not wall decorations. They decide how we bill, how we report back to you and which fights we advise you to walk away from.
Value
Structured to keep your costs down.
We are attorneys and cost consultants, and the firm is built around the second half of that too. Three things about the way we work quietly save our clients money.
We run our own trials
We attend our own trials and High Court appearances wherever we can, so you are not paying counsel to appear on every matter.
One office, every Pretoria court
We serve the Pretoria and Pretoria North Magistrate's Courts and the High Court from a single location, so local matters carry no correspondent fees.
Cost consulting in-house
Bills of cost are drawn and taxed under our own roof rather than outsourced, so more of what you recover stays with you.
Promises
What you can hold us to.
Not slogans. The standards we set for every matter, whoever you are and whatever you bring us.
Acknowledged in 24 hours
Every new instruction is acknowledged within 24 hours of receipt. You will never wonder whether your matter has landed.
Transparent billing
Reasonable, competitive rates and bills you can actually read. Cost consulting is in our name, and it shows in how we charge.
Tailor-made, always
We pilot every instruction to understand exactly what it needs, then shape our approach around it from start to finish.
Court-tested
Substantial experience in Magistrate's Court and High Court litigation, with daily insurance work keeping the team sharp.
What we stand for
A short list we hold ourselves to, weighed in every bill, every report-back and every matter we take on.
- Honesty
- Integrity
- Honour
- Empowerment
- Respect
- Compassion
- Professionalism
