Carmen Abrahams
Legal
Services offered
I have 16 years of experience as an admitted attorney - predominantly in corporate and commercial. I have worked in private practice initially but the larger part of my experience has been in large corporates as in-house legal counsel. I have managed large legal projects, with strong interpersonal, organisational, negotiation and contract drafting skills. I have gained practical insights into the operational, financial, reputational and regulatory hurdles faced in corporate and have played the role of trusted advisor, team player and fit-for-purpose problem solver. I am passionate about team-playing, aligning, setting and achieving smart goals together and keeping my clients ahead of the game. I am also passionate about knowledge gaining - studying the products and industries I encounter, and engaging appropriately to fully understand the priorities and vision of my clients. I am deadline driven and manage all stakeholder relationships with the high professionalism. I am ready for any challenge.
Experience
I am currently an independent legal consultant. My most recent project was for an e-commerce start-up business - drafting fit-for-purpose and compliant online terms and conditions of service, policies (for example data privacy policy), communication disclaimers suitable for different online communication platforms, and business alliance template agreements. Previously I worked on a long-term regulatory compliance remediation project for a global client of international law services provider, Cognia Law - negotiating with third parties and drafting contract updates to meet new requirements of a European Regulatory Authority.
Education
I have an LLB honors law degree having graduated with distinction (cum laude) from the University of the Western Cape in 2002.
I was admitted as an attorney in the Cape High Court in 2004.
I was admitted as a conveyancer in the Cape High Court in 2007.
