Her experience stretches across corporate, commercial, and company law in various sectors both in South Africa and Lesotho and includes:

  • Mining
  • Telecommunications
  • Insurance
  • Project-, corporate- and microfinance
  • Banking regulations and finance
  • Renewable energy
  • Financial markets and services
  • Group restructures
  • Anti-bribery and corruption policies and investigations
  • Preparation of loan facilities
  • Consumer and data protection
  • Export credit

In 2018, Zurayda accepted an invitation to speak at the Diasporic Alliance Conference for Cannabis Opportunities (DECO) in Philadelphia, USA, for the promotion of cannabis opportunities for poor and marginalised black communities. She is also one of the founding members and organisers of the Phekoana Cannabis Association of Lesotho and completed a Master’s dissertation in the legalisation of cannabis in South Africa and the effects in the workplace. 

Zurayda’s specialises in drafting and negotiation of commercial documents, advisory work on matters relating to mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, due diligence investigations, drafting shareholders agreements, sale of shares, memoranda of incorporation subscription agreements, board and shareholder resolutions and drafting of legal opinions and the identification of legal risks.
