Keyes Attorneys

Keyes Attorneys is a specialist legal services firm in Edenvale, Ekurhuleni, serving individuals, families, property owners, and businesses across Gauteng. Led by founder Trevor T. Keyes, the practice focuses on providing clear, practical advice in areas where the law directly affects everyday life: commercial law, matrimonial and family law, estates, landlord and tenant law, and commercial litigation. Clients turn to Keyes Attorneys when they need more than generic legal answers, seeking guidance that is tailored to their specific circumstances and long‑term interests. With decades of experience in the South African legal landscape, Trevor Keyes combines academic depth with real‑world insight. His background includes a BA (Law and Economics), LLB, and PGDip in Corporate Law from the University of the Witwatersrand, and he has worked extensively with companies, special trusts, NPOs, and community bodies in the Edenvale area. Time spent working in Ghana has also given him a broader perspective on regional and cross‑border legal issues, which benefits clients who operate or hold interests beyond South Africa. Keyes Attorneys is rooted in the Eden Glen and broader Edenvale community, and the practice is well suited to clients who value personal attention, continuity, and honest advice. Whether you are planning a marriage, navigating a divorce, resolving a property dispute, winding up a loved one’s estate, or putting proper structures in place for your business, the firm aims to help you understand your options and move forward with confidence. ## Services & Specialties As a focused provider of legal services in Edenvale, Keyes Attorneys offers a range of practice areas that often intersect, allowing clients to receive integrated advice. In commercial law, the firm assists with the formation and structuring of South African companies, including the Memorandum of Incorporation, corporate governance matters, and general commercial agreements. This is underpinned by Trevor’s postgraduate training in corporate law, completed shortly after the introduction of the new Companies Act, giving clients the benefit of up‑to‑date knowledge of company law principles and compliance expectations. On the personal side, Keyes Attorneys has long‑standing experience in matrimonial law and family law, including antenuptial contracts, cohabitation agreements, divorce, and mediation. Clients receive guidance on the different marital property regimes, the financial and legal implications of marriage or separation, and options for settlement that can reduce conflict and costs. The firm also provides comprehensive support in the administration of deceased estates, including estate planning, drafting last wills and testaments, and winding up estates as executor or agent. The practice’s property law work covers landlord and tenant law, disputes between neighbouring properties, and issues arising from the sale and purchase of property, with close collaboration with a trusted conveyancing firm where registration of transfers is required. Keyes Attorneys additionally delivers notarial services through Trevor’s capacity as an admitted Notary Public, preparing and attesting a variety of notarial documents, including antenuptial contracts and other specialised instruments that must be executed before a notary. Across all these areas, mediation is a central tool. As a qualified mediator, Trevor focuses on negotiated solutions wherever possible, particularly in family and commercial disputes, helping parties reach workable agreements without unnecessarily resorting to protracted litigation. ## Why Choose Keyes Attorneys - Decades of focused experience: Over 27 years in matrimonial and family law and more than 30 years in the administration of deceased estates provide a deep foundation for sound advice. - Strong commercial and corporate insight: A PGDip in Corporate Law and practical exposure to company law matters help businesses structure, protect, and grow their operations. - Integrated property and landlord‑tenant guidance: Extensive work in landlord and tenant law, neighbour disputes, and property‑related litigation offers comprehensive support to both landlords and tenants. - Qualified mediator for negotiated solutions: Formal training in mediation and many years of practice allow for resolution of disputes in a way that can reduce legal costs and emotional strain. - Notary public services under one roof: As an admitted Notary Public, Trevor can draft and attest notarial documents, particularly antenuptial contracts, offering clients a convenient, consolidated service. - Community‑anchored legal practice: Long‑standing involvement with local school governing bodies and community organisations in Edenvale reflects a genuine connection to the area and the people the firm serves. ## Location & Accessibility Keyes Attorneys is situated in Eden Glen, Edenvale, in the heart of Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, making it accessible to clients from Edenvale, surrounding neighbourhoods, and the broader East Rand.
