Wendt Partners, a global HubSpot Elite Solutions Partner, announced that Bernice B. Kapinga, its 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 for legal professionals, with Kapinga addressing opportunities in legal technology, legal operations, cybersecurity, governance, data protection, compliance, and artificial intelligence.
This announcement follows a series of significant milestones for Kapinga and Wendt Partners. Earlier this year, Kapinga was promoted to her current role, expanding her responsibilities to include contract lifecycle management, information security, governance, risk, compliance, and technology oversight. Her promotion reflects the firm's emphasis on integrating legal and technical expertise to meet the evolving needs of 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 has played a key role in this achievement, reinforcing the company's commitment to operational governance and responsible technology practices. This certification is particularly vital for a firm serving complex B2B organizations in industrial, technical, and regulated industries, where data protection and security are paramount.
The significance of Kapinga's speaking engagement lies in the growing importance of non-traditional legal careers. As technology reshapes the legal landscape, professionals with skills in both law and technology are increasingly in demand. By sharing her journey, Kapinga aims to inspire women in law to consider roles that bridge these fields, highlighting the diverse opportunities available beyond conventional legal practice.
Wendt Partners, headquartered in Queens, New York City, is known for its enterprise CRM strategy, implementation, and optimization services. With offices in New York, Toronto, London, and Melbourne, the firm serves clients from high-growth startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. Its expertise in regulated industries makes the ISO certification and Kapinga's role particularly relevant, as clients rely on the firm to handle sensitive data and complex compliance requirements.
Kapinga's participation in the Johannesburg workshop underscores the global reach of legal technology and security issues. It also demonstrates Wendt Partners' dedication to thought leadership and its support for diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. As the legal industry continues to evolve, events like this workshop are crucial for empowering women to explore new career paths and for fostering innovation across the sector.
