Karen

Karen is a senior attorney and her area of speciality is Family Law. She firmly believes that Family Law is the most significant area of Law, as the family unit is the cornerstone of our very existence. It is safe to say that we are moulded by various experiences within our family unit, and it is thus only fair that the mould is cast fairly.

Additionally, Karen maintains that we all have a voice, whether it be the muffled voice of an abused child or the silent protestations of an oppressed spouse. Every one of us is entitled to be heard loud and clear.

Karen and her support staff pride themselves in providing sound and specialized legal advice to the firm’s clients, by way of a knowledgeable and hands-on approach. The focus is on ensuring that the individual is emotionally supported, and expertly guided through the turmoil of the family dispute embroiling them.

On a personal note, in Karen’s spare time, she gardens, listens to music and relaxes with nature, be it observing the swirls of the ocean or marvelling the swoop of an eagle

Benita Dass

Benita Dass is a successful graduate of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, having obtained her Bachelor of Laws Degree in April 2015. She accomplished her two years of Articles with the Law Offices of Karen Olivier, and thereafter was assigned to the position of a Professional Assistant.

Benita was inspired to dive into the field of Law from a young age, as she was intrigued as to how the world around her was governed and controlled. Benita found herself being led to specialise in the area of Family Law. Being a woman and a mother, she encompasses the drive and determination needed to protect and uphold the rights of the abused, the parent who has their rights infringed, and the child who is found in the middle of a storm.

In Benita’s spare time, she can be found spending time with her family, lost in a pile of books, or soaking up the sun.

Carey-Anne Sarah Dunn

Carey-Anne Sarah Dunn graduated from the University of KwaZulu-Natal on the 11th of April 2014 with a Bachelor of Laws. She successfully completed two years of articles and was then admitted as an attorney of the High Court in 2016.

Carey-Anne has always had a keen interest in law. From a very young age she dreamed of being an attorney, after watching an episode of Ally McBeal. She has a hunger for helping people from all walks of life and assisting them in exercising their rights in our new and exciting Constitutional dispensation.

Even Carey-Anne’s pastimes reflect her love for the law, as she enjoys reading courtroom dramas and watching TV series based on the legal profession. When not immersing herself in all things law-related, Carey-Anne enjoys going to the beach as well as abseiling.

I met Karen and her team just under a year ago. Their professional and ethical services makes it that much easier to handle the circumstances one is faced with. Their compassion, kindness, humility and work ethics are of the highest standard. I have never regretted walking into their offices and they will be my first recommendation for anyone seeking help with legal matters. Karen, I have the utmost respect for you and your team. God bless

Sagina Langton

Thank you to Law Offices of Karen Olivier for their professional and expert legal representation, which resulted in the speedy resolution of a custody dispute that had previously caused much distress over a period of time to both us and my minor children. The emotional guidance of Karen and her team supported us through the court process. We are happy to announce that a Court Order was granted which ensures that my minor childrens’ best interests are upheld. I can now sleep with ease at night.
