CCMA Case Preparation
End-to-end CCMA preparation — we help you build a strong case, file correctly, and walk into conciliation or arbitration ready. We do not appear or represent you at the CCMA.
Overview
Most dismissal disputes must be referred to the CCMA within 30 days of dismissal (90 days for unfair labour practices). Strict timelines, jurisdictional points and procedural rules apply. We help individuals, small employers and HR teams prepare LRA 7.11 referrals, build proper case files, prepare witnesses, and rehearse for conciliation or arbitration. We do not represent clients at the CCMA, bargaining councils or in court — where representation is required, we refer to an admitted attorney.
Who this is for
- Employees who have been dismissed, suspended or treated unfairly
- Small employers facing a CCMA referral
- HR practitioners who want a second pair of hands on a case
- Anyone unsure whether their matter qualifies as an unfair dismissal or unfair labour practice

How we work

We prepare and submit the correct LRA form and serve on the other party.
3. Bundle & witness prep
We assemble a chronological bundle, draft opening points, and walk witnesses through their evidence.
4. Hearing readiness
We coach you for conciliation or arbitration and refer to an admitted attorney where representation is required.
Scope of this service
This service is delivered as legal support / paralegal assistance. Across all our services we provide legal information and legal advice on non-reserved matters, and we prepare legal opinions. Nkadimeng Danny is not an admitted attorney; reserved work — court appearance, litigation on your behalf, conveyancing and notarial acts — falls outside our scope and we will refer you to an admitted legal practitioner where a matter requires it.
