Prior to joining the Bar, Boipelo was admitted as an attorney of the High Court of South Africa in 2017. Having completed her articles at Webber Wentzel, where she gained experience in corporate litigation, banking and finance, and mergers and acquisitions, she subsequently spent five years in Shanghai, China, where she acted as legal counsel and commercial consultant, advising international clients in contractual disputes. Her international experience has afforded her a deep understanding of Chinese commercial culture and positioned her as a valuable resource on China-Africa legal and business relations.

In 2014, Boipelo worked as a summer intern at Symbion Power in Washington D.C, U.S.A, where she collaborated on promoting the company’s offerings to local governments in Africa by developing bidding material for regional power generation plants, contributing to the establishment of over 1,057MW of generating capacity in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Nigeria.

Boipelo completed her pupillage in 2024 at Group 621 under the mentorship of Lawrence Schäfer. She is a mentee in the 2025 CDH inaugural junior advocates’ mentorship programme as well as in the 2024/2025 Young AFSA Mentorship Programme.

Boipelo brings a unique international perspective to her practice, underpinned by strong advocacy training, commercial acumen, and cross-cultural competence.

In addition to her legal practice, Boipelo is a qualified yoga teacher and meditation facilitator, trained in Rishikesh, India, and remains actively involved in wellness and leadership development initiatives across jurisdictions.

Boipelo holds a Bachelor of Laws from the University of the Western Cape (Canon Collins, Leigh Day Scholar).
