GRANT GUNSTON Managing Director

"Passionate about Gunstons and mediation"

Grant Gunston is a pioneer in seeking models of best legal practice. Grant started the firm Gunstons Attorneys in 1995, and has practised in a wide range of areas of law over the years. These areas include (amongst others) commercial law, property law, litigation, and administration of deceased estates. He is also a duly admitted conveyancer.

Before studying law, Grant worked for about 5 years in the corporate world, gaining management experience and completing a BA degree in Politics and Psychology, followed by BA (Hons) in Psychology, both part time through UNISA. Having decided that a career in law was his true passion, Grant then went back to university (full time at UCT). He regards this as one of the best decisions he has made, as he thoroughly enjoys law and legal practice.

Grant’s current focus includes managing and growing Gunstons Attorneys and its dispute resolution practice. He is accredited in commercial and family mediation. This not only offers clients additional options in helping to resolve their disputes, but is also reflective of the client-centered and creative approach Grant adopts, always looking for the most effective solution to clients’ needs.

All my dealings with Gunstons have been a pleasant experience. They are very professional, respond immediately to any queries and keep me up-dated on where I am in the transfer process. Their people skills are excellent and one always feels well looked after and they have my best interest at heart.
They are all wonderful to deal with and certainly go the extra mile to ensure peace of mind.
The most important aspect is that they are personally at the end of any phone call to give advice or answer questions.

I have worked with Gunstons Attorneys since 1997
I have worked with Gunstons Attorneys since 1997, the fact that I still support them is testimony to the faith I have in their ability to attend to matters efficiently and with utmost care and professionalism.
The staff are friendly and the offices are completely devoid of the typical “stiff upper lip attitude” one usually gets when visiting a law firm’s offices.

Exceptional Service
Recently my wife and I embarked on the daunting task of purchasing our first family home. Early on we decided that we would try and get both the transfer and bond legalities processed through the same firm, hopefully to reduce overall costs in the process. When our bond was approved by FNB, we were able to do so and we approached Gunston Attorneys. We have found their service exceptional and the overall rates charged very favorable. We can strongly recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I Can Definitely Recommend Gunstons Attorneys!
As an estate agent, I am regularly asked by sellers to advise on or recommend a reliable, good conveyancing company, and I have found Gunstons Attorneys to be consistent in their excellent, professional and personal service plus their expertise and knowledge of the transfer process with regards to residential property. I am confident in recommending them when I have made a successful sale, as I know that the after-sales transfer process will be correctly and efficiently handled by Gunstons Attorneys with regular updates, and that my clients will be looked after well. This gives me peace of mind.
I have also received numerous positive feedback comments from my clients. For example: They are willing to go to the clients premises or home to have documents signed, if necessary, which is especially helpful for elderly people. I can definitely recommend Gunstons Attorneys!

I Hit The Jackpot!
I recently registered a bond with Nedbank and Gunstons were appointed as the conveyancing attorneys. Nedbank allocate attorneys to each job via a cyclical system from a pre-approved pool. Evidently I hit the jackpot.
From my first interaction with Gunstons to when the money was in my account, the process was flawless. My interaction with Liezel Redelinghuys, a paralegal at Gunstons, was an absolute pleasure, as she effected each step of the process and interaction with me with a professional yet wonderfully cheery demeanor.

They ensure that I take care of my clients in the best possible way
As an estate agent I depend on the complementary role of the conveyancer in order to conclude a successful sale. Over the years I have come to know the Gunstons team well and can recommend them with confidence. They provide ongoing training, which is vital to estate agents considering the changes in legislation in recent years, and are willing to offer support and advice at all times. This ensures that I take care of my clients in the best possible way. Thank you Grant, Ulrik and Gill for your professional and friendly service.

I have never looked back
When starting out in the property business 7 years ago , I asked around for some recommendations on a reputable transferring attorney. The same name kept coming up: Gunstons Attorneys. So I thought I would give them a try, and I have never looked back. With prompt, friendly service and regular updates on all my transactions, I highly recommend Gunstons.

They help me to obtain the best possible outcome for my clients
I have been using the conveyancing services of Gunstons Attorneys for approximately 8 years now. In that considerable period of time, I have yet to have a negative or frustrating experience with any of the staff at Gunstons, something which is all too common with conveyancing attorneys. All the staff members I have dealt with at Gunston`s Attorneys, without exception, understand that together, we are in the services industry, and offer the absolute best service to my customers. When situations arise which require extra attention, they are always happy to assist me in obtaining the best possible outcome for my clients. This is obviously paramount to my reputation too, and so I am always happy to recommend them for the job.
