Nel de Jager joins NSDV in the Corporate and Commercial law department with 14 years experience. Her experience spans an already impressive career, from a corporate restructuring for a large pharmaceutical group to establishing a new B-BBEEE board of the JSE.

“I really like the NSDV model which is unlike most traditional law firms. It combines some of the best legal minds in the country with brilliant business minds and I’m exceptionally excited to have found a home at this special firm,” said Nel de Jager - Senior Associate | Corporate and Commercial.

Nicole Kruger joins NSDV at an earlier career point, but her three years experience has helped her grow into a passionate attorney with a focus on Environmental Law. Nicole has represented prominent South African mining company’s in high-profile High Court and Supreme Court of Appeal proceedings.

“I was immediately drawn to NSDV’s contemporary and innovative approach, both in respect of legal issues and business practices and regarding their employees. I was also really impressed by the friendly people and warm environment that I experienced during each encounter with NSDV, and that’s why I’ve chosen to join the team,” quips Nicole Kruger - Associate | Environmental law

“It’s not common to see twice as many women attorneys than men. We genuinely believe that unlike much else in mining, the less rare we are the greater our value proves to be.” adds Nupen.
