After focusing on labour law early in his career, he went on to become the Legal Compliance Officer for one of the largest real estate groups in South Africa. It is here that he gained insight into, and experience in, both the practical and legal aspects of community scheme management – experience he later put to great use in his position as Paddocks’ principal legal consultant. In 2016, Auren founded The Advisory, where his past experience in both labour law and community schemes management serves him and his clients well as he serves as director and heads up the consulting division.
