Petrus Coetzee is an attorney with more than four decades of legal experience in civil, criminal, commercial and constitutional litigation.
In 2026, Petrus established his own practice under the guiding principle:
Id facto voluntate, non necessitate.
"I practice because I want to, not because I have to."
The phrase reflects a deliberate decision to continue practising law—not out of obligation, but from a genuine commitment to serving clients with independence, integrity and experience. Petrus is now practicing in George, Western Cape.
