Darren Joubert
@darrenjoubert
Motivated legal professional with expertise in commercial law and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated legal professional with a strong foundation in commercial and criminal law, complemented by a deep understanding of global legal standards. Currently, I am expanding my expertise into Artificial Intelligence, which adds a unique interdisciplinary perspective to my legal practice. My professional journey includes co-founding Tilt Coffee, where I have implemented innovative business practices and achieved the distinction of being South Africa’s first carbon-neutral coffee shop.
My legal career has equipped me with extensive experience in legal research, contract drafting, and ensuring compliance with international regulations. I have worked across various industries, addressing legal needs, negotiating contracts, and mitigating risks. My ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams has been instrumental in supporting business growth and ensuring adherence to legal standards.
I hold a Bachelor of Commerce in Law from Varsity College and am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence from the University of Applied Sciences in Germany. My studies have further enhanced my understanding of machine learning, data protection, and IT security, allowing me to offer a blend of legal and technical expertise.
