With nearly three decades of legal experience behind her, Lizelle Roos is no stranger to complex legal matters. From her early days as a litigation secretary to her time as an advocate at the Pretoria Bar and municipal legal manager in the Western Cape, Lizelle has built a career grounded in insight, precision, and practical problem-solving.

At CBJ Attorneys, Lizelle focuses on Commercial Law, Administrative Law, and Local Government Law—offering clients thoughtful, strategic advice on contracts, governance, compliance, and dispute resolution. She’s also a qualified mediator, accredited in both South Africa and the UK, and often called on to help resolve matters before they escalate.

Clients appreciate Lizelle’s calm, analytical approach and her ability to cut through the noise. Whether she’s drafting commercial agreements or advising municipalities on governance, she brings a steady hand and sharp legal mind to every matter.

Lizelle holds an LLB and an LLM (cum laude) from the University of Pretoria and is a proud member of the Golden Key International Honours Society. She’s fluent in both English and Afrikaans, and values collaboration, attention to detail, and clear communication.

A bit more about Lizelle

Lizelle’s favourite getaway is the West Coast town of Paternoster, where she recharges with a camera in hand or paintbrush at the ready. She’s inspired by the words of Einstein— “Everybody is a genius…”—and believes that good legal advice, like good art, is never one-size-fits-all.

If she weren’t practicing law? She’d probably be caring for animals as a vet. Until then, she’s here to protect your interests and help you find the smartest way forward.
