Brooklyn Chambers

In 2001 a small group of Advocates had the foresight to recognise that the commercial hub of Pretoria would move out of the CBD and to the east and that this move would be followed by the majority of Attorneys' firms.

The result was the identification and acquisition of a suitable site in the Brooklyn business node and the construction of a custom-designed building to house new chambers.

In a first for the Advocates' profession, sixty Advocates of the Pretoria Bar made a financial commitment to the project and successfully acquired ownership of their own building.

The new chambers, called the Brooklyn Advocates' Chambers, are housed in a stylish and timeless designed building with an ideal situation next to the Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary and next to a municipal park resulting in a very rustic atmosphere.

The decision to move has proved to have been prescient as the group was soon followed by a large-scale migration east of all the major Attorneys' firms.

In addition, over the ensuing years, three further separate groups of Advocates have moved to the Brooklyn area.

The strength of the Brooklyn group lies in their commercial expertise.

The building has an arbitration facility, ample secure parking and an excellent clubroom with restaurant facilities.
