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 focuses on alternative career paths for legal professionals, including opportunities in legal technology, legal operations, cybersecurity, governance, data protection, compliance, and AI.
Kapinga's participation comes on the heels of a series of professional and organizational achievements. Earlier this year, she was promoted to her current role, expanding her responsibilities to encompass contract lifecycle management, information security, governance, risk, compliance, and technology oversight. This promotion reflects Wendt Partners' commitment to developing leadership from within and recognizing the critical intersection of legal and technical expertise.
Additionally, Wendt Partners successfully completed its third consecutive year of ISO/IEC 27001 certification, with Kapinga playing a key role. This internationally recognized standard for information security management demonstrates the company's dedication to protecting client data and maintaining robust operational governance. Kapinga's involvement underscores her expertise in aligning security protocols with business objectives.

Kapinga's career trajectory exemplifies how legal professionals can pivot to high-demand roles that require a blend of legal knowledge and technical acumen. The workshop aims to inspire women in law to explore these non-traditional career paths, addressing the skills gap in legal tech and cybersecurity.
“It's an honor to share my journey and insights with fellow legal professionals,” said Kapinga. “The legal field is evolving rapidly, and there is immense opportunity for those who embrace technology and security as core components of their practice.”
