Mkhululi has a general practice, with experience covering the full range of commercial and regulatory fields (including but not limited to constitutional law, construction, mining and energy, international trade & customs, maritime & shipping and securities law). He has a particular interest in disputes concerned with the application of private- and public international commercial law and exchange control.
Mkhululi is often instructed as lead counsel. In other cases, Mkhululi has been instructed as part of broader counsel teams which include senior or specialist counsel from other fields or jurisdictions. He has acted in reported judgments in both capacities, and in so doing he has appeared in most High Courts and tribunals in the Republic. He has also argued matters in the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal.
As counsel, Mkhululi has appeared in a number of private- and international commercial arbitrations and in other quasi-judicial tribunals. He has additionally accepted appointments in the capacity of arbitrator and quasi-judicial decision-maker in fields including construction law, employment law and pharmaceutical law.
Mkhululi’s work has been published in several publications, and he is a former editor of the Constitutional Court Review. In his early years of practice, he completed an internship at a leading set of the London Bar.
Prior to Mkhululi’s call to the bar in 2013, he served as a clerk of the Constitutional Court, in 2008. Thereafter, Mkhululi read for an LL.M. degree at Harvard Law School with a focus on international commercial law. He then completed his articles of clerkship at a Big Five law firm – during which time he acted as a Public Defender in the Hillbrow Criminal Magistrate’s Court – whereafter he worked for a time as an associate in the firm’s corporate department.
Mkhululi enjoys playing his cello in his spare time, and he is an avid fan of rugby union. He is an O.D. (D.C.P.S.), an O.W. and an O.A..
