Commercial, Administrative & Local Government Law | CBJ Attorneys

At CBJ Attorneys, we pride ourselves on offering legal minds who don’t just know the law—they know how to apply it with precision, practicality, and purpose. One of those minds is Lizelle Roos.

With nearly three decades of experience across the legal spectrum, Lizelle’s journey has taken her from litigation secretary to high court advocate, from private practice to managing legal support at a municipal level. Her career reflects a rare blend of academic excellence and hands-on experience, making her an invaluable asset to both private sector clients and public institutions.

Lizelle advises on a wide range of commercial and governmental matters, including contract drafting and interpretation, compliance, enforcement, governance, and administrative law. She’s also a dual-accredited mediator—recognised both locally and by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) in London—bringing calm and clarity to complex disputes.

Clients value her steady, analytical approach and the confidence she brings to every matter. Lizelle doesn’t just advise—she partners. She listens, she strategises, and she solves.

“Trust begins with listening. My approach is grounded in collaboration, clarity, and practical solutions that work in the real world.” – Lizelle Roos

She holds an LLM (cum laude) from the University of Pretoria, is a member of the Golden Key International Honours Society, and has right of appearance in the High Court of South Africa. Her legal toolkit is backed by a commitment to excellence and an eye for detail sharpened over decades of diverse legal work.

More than law

Outside the office, Lizelle finds creativity in photography and painting. Her go-to retreat is the peaceful coastline of Paternoster, and her favourite quote by Einstein— “Everybody is a genius…”—reminds her that the smartest legal strategies are never one-size-fits-all.
