Rauch Law, started in 1998 by Attorney Renette Rauch is a Cape Town firm of attorneys handling Divorces, Wills, Deceased Estates and Property Law including Transfers and Lease agreements. See our firm’s Mission Statement below.

SIGNING A WILL

Along with causing uncertainty and economic hardship, this pandemic and subsequent lockdown has made many people realize the importance of having one’s personal affairs in order for when the unthinkable happens.

DIVORCE PROCESS

When divorce is inevitable. We have received an unprecedented surge of divorce enquiries, which we believe is the trend world-wide in these uncertain times. Unfortunately the current opposed Divorce Litigation system leads to a divorce process that is highly acrimonious, stressful, fast-paced, complex and expensive.

MISSION

It is our firm’s Mission to change this prevailing mindset and to offer clients more peaceful and less expensive divorce options.

VISION

We strive for a legal environment where no client fears the Law. Where every client is confident that the legal professionals will use their expertise to steer the legal process in a peaceful and affordable manner towards a fair and just outcome for all.

Let our experience guide you.

About Us

Renette Rauch created Rauch Law in 1998 , practicing in the Law of Persons and Family Law , focusing on protecting your rights in a Divorce , looking after all your property needs including transferring your property when you buy and sell and ensuring that your family and assets are protected by drafting your Will and winding up your Deceased Estate.

We will also assist with a Curatorship application if you or a family member is no longer able to look after himself and if someone is refusing to vacate your property we will attend to his Eviction on your behalf.

In our Divorces we not only protect your assets but also look after your parental rights and interest including primary residence, contact arrangements and Relocation Applications. We have a particular interest in protecting an innocent parent against Hostile Aggressive Parenting and Parental Alienation Syndrome.

Renette Rauch is a firm supporter of Mediation as an alternative approach to Divorces.  This approach brings the power to you as the client to settle the matter before the rift between you and your separating spouse becomes too large. Litigation is costly and protracted and divides the parties and upsets the children. Not only is litigation expensive in terms of legal fees but it will steal your time, take you away from your work and cause untold emotional strain on you and your loved ones and only one party normally wins. Litigation is usually backwards-looking and often focuses on restitution or punishment. Mediation is forward-looking and focuses on the interest of all parties and increases the “ pie” so that all parties receive more.  Contact us for a practical explanation if you are intrigued.

In exceptional cases where Opposed Litigation is the only solution we will use our vast experience in divorce litigation to guide you through the minefield of Court Applications and Processes to a successful outcome.

We offer our clients information and protection and they love our measured, practical and reasonable approach that focusing on a shortcut to settling their matter. We believe prevention is better than cure.

Testimonials

I was referred to Renette by a friend and was in a confused state about how to go about my divorce, as my husband at the time was living in the USA, but would be returning to South Africa shortly.

Renette was professional, calm, caring and logical. She was very efficient
and the whole procedure was completed quite quickly, compared to my initial estimations. When your emotions are running high you don't always think of everything you should or future possible scenarios and what might be needed. Renette was brilliant and thought about all possibilities and ensured I got the best outcome I could for myself and my family.

I would highly recommend Renette for her excellent and efficient service.

MARTINE WRIGHTThe Wr1ght Solution

Renette from Rauch Law represented me in 2018/2019 in divorce proceedings. She was recommended to me by my cousins wife, who is a senior partner at a large JHB law firm. This turned out to be one of the best recommendations of my life!

Renette was absolutely fantastic from the outset to the final court appearance. It was an incredibly challenging divorce, yet she remained professional, patient, empathetic and level headed throughout the entire process.

The whole experience has changed my perception of what one would expect a lawyer to be like! I could not recommend a more down to earth, real person to represent anyone through any legal challenge, particularly divorce or mediation when legal advice doesn’t always reflect the clients best interests or financial realities.

I would be more than happy to be contacted should any prospective clients wish to do so regarding Rauch Law.
