Recognition in Best Lawyers is widely regarded by both clients and legal professionals as a significant honour, conferred on a lawyer by his or her peers. Once again this year, Fluxmans Joint CEO Colin Strime has, due to the high feedback received by Best Lawyers from his peers, been recognised as one of the 2026 "Lawyer of the Year" award recipients for his work in Insolvency and Reorganisation Law. This accolade is over and above his inclusion in category rankings for Arbitration and Mediation, and Litigation.

Fluxmans is also pleased to share that four additional lawyers from the firm have joined the list of recognised lawyers for 2026, namely, Craig Blumenthal for Insolvency and Reorganisation Law, Jerome Levitz for Litigation, Jack Phalane for Corporate Law, and Kevin Van Huyssteen for Insolvency and Reorganisation Law.

“We are pleased to once again have our outstanding lawyers identified by their professional peers in this respected peer review,” says Ira Epstein, Joint CEO of Fluxmans. “This acknowledgement is a further indication of why we continue to maintain our position as one of South Africa’s top law firms”.

Best Lawyers is a peer review™ guide to the legal profession and provides lawyer rankings to identify highly respected attorneys. “It is our commitment to professionalism and the dedication to each client that retains our position in renowned rankings and as a leading law firm”, concludes Epstein.
