Meet Rosalie Smit.
After more than 20 years’ experience as a litigator at a medium-sized law firm, Rosalie resigned from her position as Director of Minde Schapiro & Smith Inc where she practiced law since commencing her articles in 2001.
In 2020, Rosalie launched her own boutique practice Rosalie Smit Inc to focus on a more specialised family and litigation practice. Encouraged by the proven benefits of mediation in settling family disputes, Rosalie is also a qualified family mediator.
Renowned for her personal, honest approach, Rosalie is passionate about protecting the integrity of the family. With meticulous attention to detail, she is dedicated to achieving a fair outcome and the best possible solution for all parties involved. Rosalie believes that changes in a family’s structure do not have to lead to the destruction of a family and, if managed well, can be achieved with minimal financial and emotional burden.
Rosalie completed a Bachelor of Commerce Law and Bachelor of Laws at the University of Stellenbosch. She also volunteers her time to sit as Commissioner of the Small Claims Court as a way of giving back to the community.
A wife and mother of two, Rosalie loves spending her free time reading, experimenting in the kitchen, and exploring new and exciting places with her family and friends.
