Barry Roux SC (born 21 November 1955) is a South African lawyer who was admitted to the bar in 1982.
His practice covers criminal, insurance, delictual, aviation, matrimonial, medical negligence, general contractual and liquidation work.
[4] Roux was a state prosecutor from 1973 to 1982 and lectured at Justice College, the South African government's training institution for law officials.
[8] In the 1990s he also successfully acted on behalf of Lothar Neethling, an apartheid-era police chief, who sued newspapers (including the Vrye Weekblad) for damages over claims that he supplied a toxin to be used on anti-apartheid activists.
However, advocate Manny Witz from the Johannesburg Bar, who worked with Roux for more than 35 years, refers to him as a "very experienced criminal lawyer, and quite a likeable fellow.
