Arthur L Maisela

Adv. Maisela is a senior legal practitioner, seasoned litigator, and strategic transactional architect with over 22 years of post-qualification experience spanning the private sector, state-owned enterprises and the independent Bar. Admitted as an Advocate in March 2002, his career represents a rare convergence of elite, high-court litigation advocacy and sophisticated corporate-commercial legal governance.

Adv. Maisela has established a formidable reputation in Public Administrative, Constitutional, Procurement, and Labour Law, regularly appearing as Counsel in precedent-setting disputes before the Labour Court, High Court, and specialized arbitral tribunals. He is highly sought after by government departments and municipal entities due to his deep, intuitive grasp of public sector statutory compliance (including the PFMA, MFMA, and Treasury Regulations) paired with an aggressive, success-driven litigation record.

Simultaneously, his executive tenure as Head of Legal Services (17+ years) and Company Secretary (14+ years) for major institutions equips him with an exceptional understanding of corporate commercial transactions, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), statutory rationalisation, and regulatory engineering. This dual pedigree ensures that his litigation strategies are always commercially pragmatic, and his transactional designs are legally insulated from administrative review.
