What I'm looking for

I seek a senior legal role offering strategic counsel in corporate, compliance, and cross-border immigration matters, with opportunities to lead teams, shape governance, and support organizational expansion.

I am a corporate lawyer with deep expertise in immigration, commercial, intellectual property, and compliance law, admitted to the High Court of South Africa. I hold a PhD in Law (Corporate Law and Business Human Rights) and an LLM in Corporate Law.

I have led global legal affairs and directed legal practice, implementing compliance programs that reduced incidents by 30% and improving legal-process efficiency by 25%. I have negotiated contracts exceeding $3M and led successful M&A and litigation matters.

My work spans cross-border immigration cases across Canada, the UK, Namibia, Botswana and South Africa, building international legal networks and advising on global expansion into multiple markets. I also design and deliver legal training and corporate governance frameworks.

I seek to apply strategic legal counsel, risk management, and compliance leadership to support organisations navigating complex transactions, international mobility, and regulatory challenges.
