Our Team at Blake Attorneys
Our Legal Team
Lesley Blake
Senior Partner
At the helm, Senior Partner Lesley Blake opened up the practice in 1998, entering with strong roots and rich experience in personal injury and property litigation. Shortly after launching, Lesley pursued family law, where she’s achieved marked success and specialisation. Alongside these areas, she’s also highly skilled in administering Estates and provides vital business law expertise to a diverse range of commercial industries. Further, Lesley Blake is a registered Education, Training and Development Practitioner for the Services SETA since 2010 and has considerable experience in training Candidate Attorneys, and in training Social Workers on the Children’s Act. Look forward to an array of professional legal services, thanks to the wealth of experience she offers – a true legal powerhouse.
Taneil Perumal
Junior Attorney
Supporting Junior Attorney, Taneil Perumal, is a highly accomplished academic, who obtained the Dean’s Merit List Award in 2016, qualified LLB with a distinction, and was the highest achiever in the South District of Johannesburg for Consumer Studies. It’s no surprise then that Taneil was given a university entrance scholarship, as she is deserving. Taniel is also a member of the Golden Key Honour Society – an internationally recognised organisation that extends membership to only the top 15% of degree students, by invite-only. We’re extremely proud to have Taneil in our fold, where she’s forging her career in law with great strides.
