Date established
DP Tax Law was established in March 2002 as a law practice that specialises in tax law only. The practice has since grown at a steady pace due to clients experiencing the professionalism and quality of the service rendered by Deirdré Pieterse and her team.
About Deirdré
Deirdré Pieterse (formerly Strachan) is an admitted and practicing attorney who has gained wide experience in commercial and general law as well as corporate tax law. Her experience includes working as a commercial lawyer with an established law firm, working closely with chartered accountants in the tax division of a large audit firm and managing the tax division of a financial group of companies. This background not only gave Deirdré valuable experience in the field of tax law but also insight into the day-to-day management of companies as well as their needs regarding tax advice and assistance.

This practice distinguishes itself from the rest by way of its excellent technical ability that enables it to provide clients with accurate and effective tax opinions, objections to assessments and dispute resolution.

Advantages of specialisation
Specialising in tax law holds various advantages. These include the acquisition and maintaining of specialised tax expertise as well as the ability to focus on the area of specialisation and the rendering of a quality service at an affordable rate.
Client base
Our client base includes various corporate groups with extended business interests as well as smaller businesses and individuals with extended assets and interests. Although we focus on corporate entities and businesses, we are also flexible enough to assist individuals with personal tax advice.
Technical foundation
In a tax law practice such as this, it is of the utmost importance to keep abreast of developments and amendments in tax legislation and interpretation. Deirdré and her team therefore continuously studies legislative amendments, case law and articles in order to refresh their technical abilities.

Strengthening our academic and technical foundation and keeping abreast with changes in tax law and interpretation is and will always be a valuable part of our practice.
