"I have had the pleasure of working with Gideon Pretorius for the past fifteen years and has consistently been impressed by his professionalism, enthusiasm and drive. He is an authority on the negotiation and the legal implications of commercial lease agreements in South Africa and his services in this respect are much sought after. By also lecturing on adult educational courses on these topics he has made a major contribution to the enhancement of the competencies of landlords and tenants alike."
