DYLAN MELENEPHY

Dylan commenced his articles with STBB in 2022 and is currently serving his first rotation in Commercial Litigation at our Tyger Valley branch. Dylan obtained his LLB degree from the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in 2019. During his time at UWC he was part of a volunteer-based university organisation called Street Law, which focuses on community outreach by communicating legal information to marginalised communities. Dylan was also a member of the Top Achievers Programme and obtained a position on the Deans Merit List. In his final year of his LLB studies he was a student legal advisor where he gained valuable experience in drafting of legal documents and communicating with clients. In 2020 he commenced his LLM at UWC, specialising in Corporate Governance as well as Internet and Technology law. During this time he was also working as a Graduate Lecturing Assistant at UWC in the Faculty of Law where he began to gain a greater appreciation for the intricacies of the law. He is naturally a creative, inquisitive and analytical person. Outside work he spends his time partaking in various creative activities (mostly art, but also music, film and acting). He also enjoys powerlifting and weightlifting at the gym and hopes to one day compete.
