Career
Dennis Jooste worked as a partner of Bowman Gilfillan Hayman Godfrey Inc, a South African corporate law firm. His practice was described as general practice, with specialisation in corporate, commercial, taxation, real estate and deceased estates law.
The firm traces its origins to Bowman Gilfillan Hayman Godfrey, established in 1902. It was formed through a 1998 merger with Findlay & Tait, founded in 1885, and John & Kernick, founded in 1923. The combined firm later became part of the Bowmans group, which is headquartered in Johannesburg and is counted among South Africa's Big Five law firms.
In the late 2000s, Bowman Gilfillan maintained offices in Johannesburg (Sandton), Cape Town and London. It presented itself as a corporate law practice with more than 270 specialised lawyers. The firm's alumni publication, issued in November 2023, names Dennis Jooste among people associated with its history.
