We are proud to introduce Mehra Amiri, one of our highly esteemed legal associates, a passionate and experienced professional who brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our family law department.

With roots in Iran and a decade of residency in South Africa, Mehra has dedicated her academic career to pursuing excellence in the legal profession. She obtained her BA Law degree (cum laude) at the University of Pretoria in 2018, and was awarded the prestigious Academic Merit Award. Her commitment to excellence continued with her postgraduate LLB (cum laude) in November 2020, earning her a place on the Dean’s list, Academic Honorary Colours, and recognition as the recipient of the subject prize for Trusts & Estates. Her academic achievements have been further recognized by her induction into the Golden Key International Honour Society since 2016.

Mehra’s rigorous studies have instilled exceptional verbal and written communication skills, as well as the ability to handle a high volume of tasks with ease. Effective planning and time management are always top priorities in her work.

Mehra is well-versed in a broad range of family law matters, from uncontested divorces to contested divorces, guardianship and relocation applications, Rule 43s, and changes in matrimonial property applications. She is deeply committed to providing considerate and diligent case management to her clients, even while juggling a high-volume caseload. To Mehra, being a family lawyer means more than just having knowledge of the law—it’s about establishing a trusting relationship with her clients, making them feel safe and supported during a challenging and emotionally trying time.

Working in the family law department at SD Law has given Mehra the opportunity to form close connections with her clients, which is a fulfilling and meaningful aspect of her work. Her next professional goal is to become a qualified mediator and conveyancer, so that she can continue to broaden her skills and better serve her clients.
