I am a South African-qualified attorney with international experience spanning data, IP, tech, general commercial and start-up law. Certified as a CIPP/E and CIPM, I also provide a specialist understanding of data regulations, (predominantly, EU GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and Southern Africa regional laws). After starting my career at a prominent mid-sized South African law firm, where I progressed to Senior Associate, I transitioned into consulting to exercise my skills beyond mere traditional legal delivery services. Along the way, I co-founded a GRC-focused e-commerce startup, combining my skills in creative knowledge sharing and client relations, with a strategic entrepreneurial initiative. In my role at Lawbox, I advise on data, technology, and general commercial matters. I am part of a power-house team successfully guiding clients, including tech founders, SMEs and seasoned corporate executives. We provide practical human-centred advice
