Meet Firdows Dobah ⚖️
Firdows joined us in 2025, shortly after her admission as attorney of the High Court. She holds an LLB from Stellenbosch University and completed her articles at VanderSpuy Cape Town, where she gained experience in personal injury, medical negligence, commercial litigation, and High Court motion work.
Her first exposure to family law came after articles, when she joined Perduco Law, a Cape Town firm practising in UK family law. There, she handled parenting disputes and engaged with UK court systems. But more than technical skills, that chapter revealed something deeper: supporting clients through emotionally complex transitions and building meaningful, people-centred legal relationships. Her desire for greater connection and impact led her directly to RCA.
Firdows also brings a strong academic edge. During her time at university she worked as a research assistant and tutor, supporting modules in constitutional and statutory interpretation and mentoring junior students, developing the clarity, rigour, and composure she now brings to every case.
Empathetic, insightful, and quietly formidable, Firdows is already making her presence felt in all the right ways.
We’re proud to have her as part of the RCA team.
