Tell us about your career highlights to
date?
I have been fortunate to have had a career spanning private
practice across a broad range of matters, service as General
Counsel and leadership of a non-profit human rights organisation.
Each chapter has had its own highlights and I will share four of
the highlights.
First, I was part of the team that successfully negotiated a new
Mineral Development Agreement between one of Malawi's largest
mining companies and the Government of Malawi. This followed
shortly after the promulgation of a new Mines and Minerals Act. The
new law was being implemented and there was heightened national
interest on the project. This is a career highlight as the
negotiations were high-stakes, requiring careful consideration of
complex legal, fiscal, and regulatory issues as well as strategic
engagement with stakeholders.
