Spies resigned from Parliament in September 2009 to run his legal practice at the Pretoria-based firm Hurter Spies, founded in 2008. Hurter Spies has handled civil rights litigation for AfriForum since 2009, and Spies has therefore been a prominent figure in advocacy for the rights of Afrikaners and other minorities.
