Charné Snyman

I am looking to contribute my skills and to further my legal career in an environment that fosters professional growth and diverse learning opportunities.

During my clerkship at RAMA Annandale & Munonde Attorneys Inc., I have gained valuable hands-on experience in several legal processes, including court attendance for Debt Review Applications, Section 65 Applications, Requests for Default Judgment, and Applications to Compel Discovery. I have also handled the serving and filing of court documents, reported deceased estates to the Master’s Offices, and facilitated the Section 29 advertisement process. Additionally, my experience in drafting legal documents - such as Letters of Demand, Summonses, and Section 65 Applications - has equipped me with a keen eye for detail and strong analytical skills.

Beyond my legal experience, I am bilingual and fluent in both Afrikaans and English, which enables me to communicate effectively with a diverse range of clients and colleagues. I also possess excellent computer literacy and typing skills, allowing me to efficiently manage legal documentation, correspondence, and case research with accuracy and professionalism.

I am currently in the process of my application for admission as a legal practitioner and eager to expand my expertise beyond my current scope, embracing opportunities to work in different areas of law while refining my abilities in legal research, client advocacy, and case management. I recognize that I still have much to learn, and I am excited to gain practical experience that will help me grow into a well-rounded legal professional. I approach every challenge with diligence and a willingness to learn, and I would be grateful for the opportunity to develop my skills.
