Liziwe Nompumza is an Admitted Attorney of the High Court of South Africa and practices as such. She started her educational journey at the University of Johannesburg (“UJ”), where she obtained a BA in Law Degree in 2018 and LLB Degree in 2020. During her final year, she was a Student Counsel at UJ Law Clinic under the supervision and mentorship of the Law Clinic’s Attorneys and Directors.

She started articles in Midrand in April 2021, where she gained experience in commercial litigation, civil litigation, banking law, debt collection, administrative law, legal compliance, wills and administration of deceased estates, family law, and labour law. She has adeptly appeared in the Magistrate Court and the CCMA and conducted internal disciplinary hearings.

After serving practical vocational training for two years, she was admitted as an attorney, and she was immediately appointed as an associate attorney and has been practising as such. In April 2024, she took a brave step by leaving her associate attorney job to open her own law firm.

Liziwe’s solid legal background has allowed her to develop strong drafting, negotiation, and organisational skills. She is proficient in drafting pleadings and legal opinions. She founded the firm after recognising the need for quality legal services in South Africa. Her decision to start LA Nompumza Attorneys was based on her dedication to promoting access to affordable legal services in South Africa.

Outside the office, Liziwe is a mentor and entrepreneur who runs a non profit organisation and a beauty business. Some of Liziwe’s achievements include graduating from the U.S Government’s Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) program for the 2021 cohort, and being an alumnus of the International Women’s Forum YLC-IDEAL mentorship and entrepreneurship program for the 2023 cohort.
