Testimonials

I have engaged the services of Candice Van Der Plas since 2014. I have more recently hired  her legal firm CV Legal & Consulting to assist with many legal and commercial matters for the many privately held businesses I have worked for in a senior/lead Finance role. These have spanned over the construction, mining, and mining services industries. She has consistently delivered well rounded commercial and legal advice. Her advice is always considered and takes a very strategic and lateral business approach and offers outstanding value for money. She is highly engaging, professional, articulate and has extensive   experience. I would have no hesitation to recommend CV Legal’s services and will continue to engage them in the future.

Larissa Winter – Chief Financial Officer
Pump Eng Pty Ltd

CV Legal & Consulting gave us concise & correct advise on contractual requirements that enabled us to move forward quickly and easily. Without this concise analysis, QMA would not be in its position that it is now.

Would recommend CV Legal for all legal and contract interpretations for any business. We found Candice to be not only helpful but spoke a language we could understand.

Jason Clark – Director
Quay Marine Agencies Pty Ltd

CV Legal is an effective solution driven law firm. We have engaged Candice Van Der Plas for our contractual and commercial matters and always find her approach to be realistic and efficient. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Highly recommend.

It is without reservation that I would consider and recommend Candice as an extremely capable and experienced Legal Counsel with a thorough knowledge of all aspects of Commercial and Construction Law, as well as Corporate Governance. Further to Candice’s significant technical skill set in all the above aspects of Law, what sets her apart is the considered practicability in her advice to address contract and commercial risk, along with genuine passion, courage and determination to resolve disputes. Candice would actively engage with the business leadership as well as projects to understand strategies and potential risks so that sound advice could be offered as early as possible, thereby mitigating or avoiding potential issues of conflict. Her counsel and advice was always well considered and soundly supported by the principles of contract and law, and allowed her to be exceptionally effective in her role.

Lance van Drunick – General Manager
Decmil Australia Pty Ltd

CV Legal provides realistic advice supported by practical and pragmatic strategies. Candice reviews project contracts efficiently cutting through to those clauses that can cause a problem, and summarises advice so that the team understands what they need to do. She also understands litigation and the power of effective negotiation.

Candice is emerging as a powerhouse in the corporate governance and corporate compliance space.
