Describe your job – what do you do?
What has been a highlight of your career so far?
I recently started a new job as a senior in Contract Lifecycle Management. My job entails working with legal departments and other stakeholders to improve and implement contract management needs.
The highlight of my career has been moving from working in a traditional law practice to working in legal managed services. Working in an alternative legal industry has been exciting and it is great to see how traditional law and existing practises can evolve in the future.
My favourite part about my job is transforming and optimising the contracting process and adding value for clients.
How have your degrees helped you in your career? My degrees have been instrumental in my career to date, particularly my LLM in Commercial Law, which provided me with a more focused learning on what I was interested in. The UCT Law Faculty is rated highly around the world and it has been invaluable to have degrees from a globally recognised institution.
