In celebration of Women’s Month, we honour our very own Loraine Strydom, recognising her inspiring contribution and professional excellence.

Mentorship is often shaped by what we had — and sometimes by what we didn’t.
In reflecting on more than two decades in the legal profession, Loraine Strydom shares how the absence of a female mentor early in her career taught her the value of becoming one for others.
Her article is a powerful reminder that mentorship is not only about technical guidance. It is about encouragement, dignity, understanding, flexibility and creating space for young professionals to be seen and supported.
Through Herold Gie Attorneys’ Associates Forum, this commitment is now taking structured form — helping associates access mentorship, development opportunities and candid conversations that support their growth as future leaders.
Because sometimes, the smallest moments of support leave the longest-lasting impact.

Not Every Heir Gets a Share: The Supreme Court of Appeal Affirms that Spousal Maintenance Could Trump Inheritance
