Marthinus van der Linde

Marthinus joined Snymans Inc in 2025 as a candidate attorney. He holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from the University of South Africa, which he completed while studying part-time. In recognition of his academic excellence, he was inducted into the Golden Key International Honour Society in 2023.

With a meticulous approach and a driven mindset, Marthinus brings a distinctive background in forensic investigation, governance, compliance, and high-stakes risk management to his career in property law. Prior to joining Snymans, he established himself in the mining and metals sector, where he worked within the commodity contracting department. There, he was responsible for drafting and negotiating multimillion-rand supplier agreements, resolving complex disputes, and protecting corporate interests through robust compliance frameworks.

Earlier in his career, Marthinus served with the Syndicated Metals Theft Unit, where he led major forensic investigations in collaboration with state agencies. His work focused on combating corruption and promoting a culture of integrity and zero tolerance for ethical breaches.

Driven by a strong sense of justice and a desire to create meaningful change, Marthinus has a keen interest in criminal psychology and human behaviour. Outside of his professional life, he is a devoted husband and father who enjoys spending quality time with his family. His hobbies include fishing and appreciating the outdoors.

Marthinus believes that the law is more than a set of rules—it is the foundation of trust. His mission is to build that trust, protect it, and empower others to thrive within it.
