I am a South African commercial attorney with experience across commercial law, contract drafting and review, negotiations, debt recovery, corporate advisory work, and operational legal support within fast-moving business environments. I currently work in-house in the coal and commodities sector, where I assist with a broad range of legal and commercial matters relating to funding structures, supply agreements, transaction negotiations, operational disputes, security arrangements, and general business strategy.

My work regularly involves drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and refining commercial agreements, including NDAs, supply agreements, funding and security agreements, settlement agreements, shareholder and corporate documents, acknowledgments of debt, cessions, notices of breach, demand letters, and various forms of commercial correspondence. I am particularly strong in identifying commercial risk, simplifying complex legal concepts, and producing clear, practical drafting that protects my client’s position while remaining commercially workable.

In addition to legal drafting and advisory work, I also assist businesses with broader operational and administrative support. This includes document management, internal process support, due diligence assistance, business communications, research, compliance-related administration, policy drafting, and general remote business support. I am comfortable stepping into roles that require both legal and commercial thinking, particularly in entrepreneurial or founder-led environments where adaptability and responsiveness are important.

I have experience working directly with directors, founders, operational teams, and counterparties, and I am comfortable handling sensitive matters professionally and efficiently. I work well independently, communicate clearly, and pride myself on being detail-oriented while still maintaining a practical, solutions-driven approach.

My background includes both litigation exposure and commercial transactional work, which gives me a balanced perspective when assessing legal and business risk. I understand the importance of turnaround times, commercial realities, and maintaining professional relationships while still protecting a client’s legal position.

I am available for remote legal and administrative work on a freelance, project-based, or ongoing support basis. Whether the requirement is drafting and reviewing agreements, assisting with negotiations, preparing formal correspondence, conducting research, or helping a business stay organised operationally, I aim to provide reliable, commercially minded support that adds practical value.
