Know what comes next.

Your guide through South African civil litigation. Every step, every deadline, and the law behind it.

Free for the first 100 days. Just your name and email.

Litigation doesn’t come with a map.

The rules in one tab. The directive in another. The precedent book on your desk. And the clock, always running.

Now it does.

Start where you are.

Papers just served, a claim to start, or a matter already in court. Tell Themis what is happening and it opens the right step.

35 kinds of civil matter, includingdebt recovery, contract claims, delictual damages, Road Accident Fund claims, unjust enrichment, property disputes, lease disputes, evictions, community schemes, shareholder disputes, deceased estates, trust disputes, divorce, parenting and guardianship, maintenance, domestic violence, curatorship, liquidations, sequestration, business rescue, labour disputes, tax disputes, land restitution, administrative review, constitutional litigation, equality claims, consumer credit, insurance claims, intellectual property, competition matters, environment and mining, admiralty, electoral disputes, customary law and other statutory matters.

One step at a time.

Know what to do now and what comes next, with the rule behind each step one tap away. See the whole route whenever you need it.

No missed days.

Court days counted for you, past weekends, public holidays and the December break, and every date kept in your diary.

See the defence coming.

Name your claim and Themis lays it bare: what you must allege, who must prove it, and the defences you are likely to meet.

Know their answer before they plead it.
