TELIS CARIDES

Attorney & Notary

​Born and raised in Sandton, Telis is an alumnus of St. David’s Marist Inanda and Wits University. His [arguably excessive] childhood love for computer gaming spawned an enduring passion for IT. Later developing an interest in microbiology, he obtained a BSc in Genetics and Physiology before shifting his focus to law and obtaining his postgraduate LLB.

Telis joined our commercial, retail and industrial property law team in January 2021, where his passion for all law contract- and property-related was cemented. Whilst completing his articles, he pursued his LLM on a part-time basis.

Whilst continuing to practice at the forefront of these fields, Telis seeks to further contribute to the areas of contract law and property law by way of a PhD – whilst keeping an excited eye for what comes after.
