A father’s integrity.
A daughter’s vision.
A shared belief in fairness.
That’s how ivocate began.
Labour law in South Africa can be complex and often misunderstood. Employers are expected to make decisions about people every day, yet many do not have the training or support to feel confident in those decisions. Problems usually arise not because employers do not care, but because they do not have the right guidance.
That is where we come in. For over 35 years, Adv. Coen de Kock has built his career on fairness and integrity. He became known as the man who has stood for fairness and justice. His guiding belief has remained the same throughout his career, that a decision that is fair, will always be the right decision. As an experienced arbitrator and labour specialist, Coen has spent years resolving disputes with balance, clarity, and respect. But more importantly, he has spent years reminding others, employers, HR practitioners, students and professionals, that labour law is rooted in fairness and integrity, not just rules and processes.
Kayleigh’s vision for ivocate was to ensure that every business, no matter its size or location, has access to proper guidance on employment matters. She believes that fair, well-structured processes protect both employers and the people who keep businesses running. Having seen how easily disputes arise when employers are left without proper support, Kayleigh focuses on strengthening systems before issues escalate, helping employers make fair, confident decisions about their people. Together, they founded ivocate, a family-owned consultancy built on fairness and integrity with the aim of building genuine and long-lasting partnerships with their clients. We understand people. We understand the law. We protect you.
