Alistair Hamilton started his law career by serving articles with DENEYS REITZ INC in 1991 and gaining valuable experience as an insurance and labour law practitioner.

Thereafter he took up a position in the commercial litigation department of GARLICKE & BOUSFIELD gaining experience in general commercial litigation, with a particular emphasis on insurance related matters.

He commenced business for his own account as HAMILTON ATTORNEYS in 1999, continuing to specialize in the fields of short term indemnity insurance, labour and commercial litigation, whilst also gaining experience in the drafting of commercial contracts and property related transactions.

The firm can be categorised as a specialist litigation practice which has recently extended its operation to include property law. Insurance matters are typically on behalf of plaintiffs, who require legal representation pursuant to the rejection of claims by their underwriters.

These include claims under the fire and business interruption sections of commercial policies, with a lesser emphasis on domestic short term policies.

Alistair Hamilton has extensive labour law experience, having developed a particular focus on Collective Bargaining matters and unlawful dismissal disputes.

These include misconduct and incapacity related dismissals, as well as retrenchment matters. He has considerable Labour Court and CCMA experience, having personally appeared in these forums over a period of 23 years.
