Schulz Attorneys Expands with New Office in Piet Retief

28 August 2025 88

Providing local legal support with a personalised, multilingual approach

Schulz Attorneys is proud to announce the opening of a satellite office in Piet Retief, extending the firm’s reach and commitment to delivering personalised, practical legal services across the region.

The new office will be jointly supported by the firm’s Managing Director, Ralf Schulz (Attorney, Conveyancer, Notary) and Associate Nicole du Toit (Attorney, Conveyancer, Notary), who will lead the day-to-day operations in Piet Retief. Both bring a hands-on, client-first approach with deep ties to the area.

“This expansion is more than geographic — it’s personal,” says Ralf. “I have family in the Piet Retief and northern KZN areas, and I’ve spent a great deal of time here over the years. It’s a community I know and value. We’re proud to make quality legal services more accessible to the people of this region.”

Ralf will be actively involved in the Piet Retief office and will commute regularly from the firm’s head office in Wartburg, ensuring strong alignment with the broader Schulz Attorneys team and firm values.

Based in Piet Retief, Nicole du Toit is an admitted Attorney, Conveyancer, and Notary of the High Court of South Africa. She assists clients with:

  • Property transfers and municipal applications
  • Estate planning, wills, and estate administration
  • Commercial agreements and business structuring
  • Antenuptial contracts and notarial services
  • Trust and company registrations

Having grown up in the area, Nicole offers more than legal expertise; she brings a deep understanding of the people, culture, and challenges of the community. She is fluent in English, Afrikaans, and German.

“Our Piet Retief office is about presence, partnership, and offering practical legal solutions. As a young attorney with local roots, I’m here to create a value-based service offering which will guide and support the community I know so well,” says Nicole.
