Libo was inspired to undertake a career in property law due to a familial heritage in the construction industry. With 20 years of experience in the property sector, Libo has established himself as a leading attorney in respect property and sectional title developments. In addition to property, Libo also specialises in tax law and often finds that there are important correlations between the tax environment and the field of property law that must be understood when advising clients on new or specialised property developments.

Due to the commercial nature of property transactions, Libo assists clients, by working closely with colleagues in the commercial divisions of the firm to comprehensively structure and advise on a transaction and transaction documents.
