About .

Meet our highly specialised and experienced team 

Established in​ 2003

Larry Dave established his practice, Larry Dave Attorneys, in 2003 and he quickly became known as one of the best labour lawyers in Johannesburg. Larry Dave's practice grew exponentially over the years. Larry's best form of advertisement has always been word of mouth owing to his professional service and outstanding outcomes achieved for his clients.

In 2010, Rene Kyriakou established Rene Kyriakou Attorneys. This practice operated out of Rosebank and Hurlingham for just short of 8 years successfully catering to various well known corporate clients' commercial, litigious and conveyancing needs. Rene has been involved in large scale acquisitions and transactions and in various types of litigation throughout her years of practice.

Rene and Larry always worked quite closely often referring clients between each other. Rene and Larry have the same ethos in running their practices and in 2017, Rene Kyriakou Attorneys and Larry Dave Attorneys merged to form, LDA Incorporated.

LDA Incorporated offers a variety of highly skilled attorneys who can assist with all your labour, commercial, litigation and conveyancing needs. We can also assist with debt collections, evictions (commercial and residential), insolvency, family and deceased estate matters.

We are well known for our expertise in these areas and our footprint and reputation built up over 17 years attests to this. We hold the means to take any opponent head on and do not shy away from any challenge. We pride ourselves on our proficiency and integrity.

Our goal

To continue to serve our clients and to grow in areas that serve our clients best. 

We will never stop trying to make our clients happy. 

Arriving at one goal is the starting point of another... John Dewey
