Henri Uys was born and raised in Pretoria and obtained his LLB from the University of Pretoria in 2020. He completed the School for Legal Practice shortly thereafter and was admitted as an attorney in April 2022.

He began his legal career in a general practice environment, gaining exposure to debt collection, family law, criminal matters, labour law, deceased estates, sequestrations, liquidations and both Magistrates’ Court and High Court litigation. This broad foundation gave him practical experience in drafting pleadings, appearing in court, briefing counsel, managing defended matters and engaging with clients and opposing attorneys.

Henri subsequently moved into specialist debt review practice, where he has focused for the past several years..

His experience is particularly grounded in the practical side of litigation: understanding how matters move through court, identifying procedural issues early and keeping applications progressing despite opposition or administrative obstacles.

Outside of practice, Hendri has a long-standing connection with rugby and is a member of the Blue Bulls Rugby Referees’ Association. Over weekends, he regularly referees high-school and amateur club rugby matches — an interest that reflects his appreciation for fairness, discipline and clear decision-making.
