Naledi Mahooa is the visionary Founder and Managing Director of N Mahooa & Associates Inc., a 100% women-led legal practice based in Illovo, Sandton. Combining a sharp commercial acumen with a deeply human, client-centric approach, she is dedicated to shaping legal strategies that empower both enterprises and communities.
