Although Willie has extensive experience in the formal legal sphere, he considers himself a ‘reformed lawyer’. While working as an advocate at the Cape Bar, Willie witnessed first hand the shortcomings of traditional legal practice.
A practicing mediator and arbitrator, Willie worked closely with the insurance cluster to pioneer a new way of settling inter-insurer disputes which has seen significant gains in both efficiency and efficacy for the organisations. Willie is passionate about the use of IT as an enabler and sees his role in NuvaLaw as an opportunity to put his experience in ADR, his love of innovation, and a desire for access to justice to good use – for both companies and the consumer.
