Comprehensive Legal
Expertise

Municipal Disputes

Exorbitant water or electricity bills? We had more than R9 million in utility charges — and counting — reversed for our clients. Don't be forced into a payment plan for charges you're not responsible for.

Property Matters

Residential and commercial lease agreements, contracts, settlement of disputes, transfers, and evictions handled with precision and care.

Family Law & Divorce

Divorce settlements and litigation, parenting plans, guardianship, access, maintenance, child abuse and domestic violence protection orders — with experience, expertise and compassion.

Labour Law

Workplace disputes, retrenchment, unfair labour practices, unfair discrimination, harassment and dismissals — guiding you through the CCMA, Bargaining Councils, or the Labour Court.

Corporate & Commercial

Drafting and reviewing of contracts, settlement of disputes, and litigation. From startups to established enterprises — clear, effective commercial law advice.

Litigation & Dispute Resolution

We believe in litigation only as a last resort. Our innovative strategies help resolve disputes before they land in court — and when they do, our expertise delivers an unparalleled record of success.

Administration of Estates

We handle the estate of your late loved one every step of the way — from registration at the Master's Office to distribution of assets. We also draft Wills, trust deeds, powers-of-attorney and advise on estate planning.

Personal Injury

Legal services to those injured, physically or psychologically, as a result of the negligence of another person, company, government agency or any entity. We fight to recover what you deserve.

Media Law

Advice on all aspects of media law — print, advertising, radio, film, and social media — including rights to privacy, media freedom, freedom of speech and expression, and defamation.

POST newspaper coverage

From the Courtroom
to the Front Page

Founding attorney Krisendra Bisetty's breadth of experience spans journalism and the law. As a former Editor of POST newspaper — one of South Africa's biggest and most read national newspapers — he helped give voice to forgotten communities and position the media as a platform for civic change. That same conviction for justice drives everything Bisetty Attorneys does today.

Krisendra Bisetty
Attorney & Former Editor

Bisetty Attorneys was founded by Krisendra Bisetty, whose interest in the law — particularly its application to remedy wrongdoings and ultimately bring about justice — was piqued as a Daily News journalist covering the courts, from Small Claims Courts to the then Supreme Court where he kept offices as a legal correspondent.

His breadth of experience is wide and varied, spanning three countries — South Africa, the US and Canada — with his work helping influence policymakers and ordinary citizens alike, casting the spotlight on forgotten communities and sparking the establishment of two commissions of inquiry.

Krisendra has advised on complex labour and contractual disputes, and researched and analysed IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, environmental impact studies and projects involving global energy, mineral exploration and mining companies.

A former Editor of POST, he helped position the title as one of South Africa's biggest and most read national newspapers. He conceptualised what became known as LeadSA — a civic-minded national media-driven initiative on robust citizenship aimed at deepening our democracy.
