I am an admitted attorney with quite a few years (now) Post Qualification Experience (PQE). I have worked in law firms, had my own legal consulting company and have further been an in-house legal counsel and head of legal for a number of both global and local institutions. However, my passion has always been in researching a topic, finding out its’ “why”. More so, I revel in writing articles, blogs or any other form of written content. I love words! I consider myself a “Renaissance Woman” (in training), with an absolute passion for the written word, music, art and all things beautiful.

In keeping with this topic of all things beautiful (and for information purposes), a belle-lettres is a category of writing, originally meaning beautiful or fine writing. The writer thereof is therefore a belletrist. I hope, that in embodying the role of “The Legal Belletrist“, I will be able to do just that – and write fine legal (and other) articles, using my sense of humour and passion for the written word (two key ingredients).

I currently live in Johannesburg, South Africa with my loving husband (my Big Bear) and four beautiful fur children (kitty cats).
