Jabulani Mabika
Legal Professional
Cape Town
Summary
Legally trained professional with practical experience in contract drafting, negotiation, and review, as well as litigation, mergers and acquisitions, and general corporate advisory work.
In my current role as a Junior Legal Analyst at Robin AI, I operate at the intersection of law and technology, supporting global clients in the implementation of AI-driven contract solutions. My responsibilities include clause tagging, playbook configuration, contract analysis, drafting, negotiation, and the design of legal workflows.
I bring strong analytical skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep passion for innovation in legal service delivery. I am currently seeking opportunities in either a dedicated legal role or a hybrid position that integrates legal expertise with technology or artificial intelligence. I have completed my LLB, articles of clerkship, and all four board examinations, and I am presently awaiting admission as an attorney in South Africa.
