Danelle completed her contract of articles with Findlay & Tait, the Cape Town Office of Bowman Gilfillan (now Bowmans) in 2002. She was admitted as an attorney and notary public in 2002.

From 2002 to 2007, Danelle left the legal environment to pursue a career in sales and international logistics at UTi (now DSV) in Johannesburg. Here she obtained valuable experience and insight in sales, supply chain management, international trade instruments and human behaviour.

At UTi, Danelle fulfilled the national role of Route Development Manager for Greater China, a role she particularly enjoyed as it combined her passions for international trade and Chinese culture and history.

In 2007, Danelle was awarded a Chevening scholarship from the British Foreign Office to further her studies. She completed an LLM (International Trade Law) degree at the University of Durham, which she passed with distinction.

Upon her return to South Africa she married the love of her life and is now the mother of five beautiful boys.

Since 2008 she has been active in the construction and property industry which led her to completing her conveyancing exam in 2012.

Today Danelle specialises in property law and conveyancing; notarial services; and international trade law.
