Stefan Streicher Snyman graduated from the University of Pretoria in 2011 and was admitted as an attorney of the High Court in 2013. He joined VDH that same year as a young clerk and has since built his career within the firm, progressing to become a senior member of its specialist litigation team.

Stefan is particularly drawn to the challenges of opposed proceedings. He enjoys engaging with contested legal issues, testing opposing arguments and presenting a well-reasoned case for the relief sought. His enthusiasm for advocacy is grounded in practical courtroom experience and a detailed understanding of the procedural demands of debt review litigation.

His recorded experience includes at least 150 opposed debt review motions argued. Between April and August 2026 alone, he personally obtained more than 600 debt review court orders—reflecting his active courtroom practice and sustained focus on bringing applications to finality.

His association with VDH began with an informal interview with founder Stephan van der Hoven at a Dros restaurant. Stefan recalls recognising during that conversation that he had found the firm where he wanted to build his career. That early conviction has developed into a professional commitment spanning more than a decade.

Born in Tzaneen, Limpopo, Stefan is the youngest of five children and the only son. He is married with two daughters and enjoys golf and running outside his legal endevours.
