A Renaissance Woman Moving Forward - Thandi Maqubela

Meet Thandi Maqubela, a self-described Sartorial Lawyer. She’s a distinguished commercial lawyer who has carved out a noteworthy career in both the UK and South Africa. As a dual jurisdiction lawyer, Thandi boasts 11 years of rich experience, transitioning from private practice into a pivotal role as an in-house legal expert. Currently at the helm as Director of Legal atDeloitte, she's known for her impeccable due diligence, contract negotiation acumen, and an unparalleled knack for risk management.

Educated at the University of Johannesburg and further specializing in anti-trust law from the University of the Witwatersrand, Thandi's educational foundation laid the groundwork for her ensuing excellence. Beyond her legal acumen, she is celebrated for her strong interpersonal skills, her ability to build trust across organisational hierarchies, and her unwavering commitment to pragmatic solutions. From leading teams of lawyers, spearheading learning and development in-house, to being a pivotal member of the Tax and Legal Black Action Plan Steering Committee, Thandi's multifaceted contributions to her craft is undeniable.

But to us, the Pursuit Community, Thandi is a Renaissance Woman. She’s someone who’s mastered the art of balance, what it specifically means to her, nurturing diverse passions – reading, skincare, fashion – and refining boundaries. She’s a testament to the power of curiosity, continually growing and recognising that nuance is key to the art of understanding.
