About NSDV Law

When co-founders Lili Nupen, Cameron Staude and Sonia de Vries first launched NSDV Law, they did so with years of Mining, Construction and Environmental Law experience behind them. However, it is their less formal and more practical, hands-on approach that continues to set them apart.


With experience in multiple territories, we know anything and everything mining-related. We also believe in working directly with clients, and won’t fob your case off to a different team or paralegal, so the specialist expertise and dedication you pay for, is exactly what you’ll get.
