Wendt Partners, a global HubSpot Elite Solutions Partner, has 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. This announcement follows a series of significant milestones for Kapinga and the firm, including her recent promotion and the completion of a third consecutive year of ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
Kapinga's session at the workshop is set to address alternative career paths and opportunities across legal technology, legal operations, cybersecurity, governance, data protection, compliance, and artificial intelligence. Her participation highlights the evolving landscape of legal careers, where professionals increasingly leverage technical and security expertise to drive organizational success. The event aims to provide women in law with insights into non-traditional roles that are reshaping the industry.
Earlier this year, Wendt Partners promoted Kapinga to her current role, expanding her responsibilities to encompass contract lifecycle management, information security, governance, risk, compliance, and technology oversight. This promotion reflects the firm's commitment to integrating legal and technical disciplines, a trend that is becoming essential in today's data-driven business environment. Kapinga's diverse skill set positions her as a key leader in navigating complex regulatory and security challenges.
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 pivotal role in this achievement, reinforcing the company's dedication to robust information security practices and operational governance. This certification underscores Wendt Partners' ability to safeguard client data and maintain high standards of compliance, which is particularly critical for organizations in regulated industries.
The announcement of Kapinga's speaking engagement comes at a time when the legal profession is undergoing rapid transformation. Technology is automating routine tasks, while cybersecurity and data privacy concerns are creating new demands for legal professionals who understand both the law and the technical landscape. Kapinga's career trajectory exemplifies this convergence, and her insights at the workshop are expected to inspire other women to explore similar interdisciplinary paths.
