Wendt Partners, a global HubSpot Elite Solutions Partner, announced that Bernice B. Kapinga, Technology, Security, Contracts & Compliance Manager, will speak at the For Women in Law Legal Careers Workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa, on August 29, 2026. The workshop aims to explore alternative career paths and opportunities across legal technology, legal operations, cybersecurity, governance, data protection, compliance, and AI.
Kapinga's participation comes on the heels of two significant milestones for the company. Earlier this year, Wendt Partners promoted her to the role of Technology, Security, Contracts & Compliance Manager, expanding her responsibilities to include contract lifecycle management, information security, governance, risk, compliance, and technology oversight. This promotion reflects the firm's strategic focus on integrating legal and technological expertise to better serve its clients.
Additionally, Wendt Partners has successfully completed its third consecutive year of ISO/IEC 27001 certification, a globally recognized standard for information security management. Kapinga played a key role in this achievement, reinforcing the company's commitment to information security, operational governance, and responsible technology practices. This certification is particularly relevant for clients in regulated industries, where data protection and compliance are paramount.
The workshop presentation by Kapinga is expected to provide valuable insights for women in law, showcasing how legal professionals can leverage their skills in non-traditional roles. By highlighting her own career trajectory and the growing demand for expertise in legal technology and cybersecurity, Kapinga will illustrate the expanding opportunities available to legal professionals in the digital age.
