What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a highly motivated legal professional with extensive experience in corporate employment law and litigation. My career has been dedicated to advising clients across various industries, including transport, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage, on complex employment law issues. I have successfully managed cases involving unfair dismissal claims, compliance with employment equity legislation, and workplace misconduct, demonstrating my commitment to upholding the rights of employees and employers alike.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in drafting employment contracts, conducting investigations, and managing disputes in the CCMA and Labour Court. My role as a Senior Specialist Employee Relations Consultant has allowed me to build strong stakeholder relationships and implement effective employee relations strategies. I am passionate about training and empowering HR teams, ensuring they are well-versed in the latest labour legislation and best practices.

As I seek to advance my career, I am eager to find a role that allows me to further develop my skills in employment law while contributing to a collaborative team environment. My enthusiasm for the legal profession, combined with my ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines, positions me as a valuable asset to any organization.
