Elevating Barristers. Defining Excellence.
I engaged Nicole O’Hare and LawConnexion to assist with my application for appointment as Senior Counsel. Nicole brought a level of objectivity to the process that is difficult to achieve when assessing one’s own career. She quickly developed a clear understanding of my practice and was particularly adept at identifying aspects of my experience and professional contribution that I had either taken for granted or would not otherwise have thought to emphasise.
Most importantly, Nicole did not try to turn the application into something that was not authentically mine. She challenged me where necessary, while bringing structure, clarity and focus to a substantial body of material. Nicole has an exceptional understanding of the Bar and of barristers, and her guidance throughout the silk application process was invaluable.
Senior Counsel Applicant
As a past unsuccessful applicant for silk, I decided it was time to seek some assistance with the process. Nicole was great to work with…professional, available, a great communicator and brought an objectivity to my application that resulted in the application including greater detail and emphasis upon the real reasons why I satisfied the silk criteria. I have no hesitation recommending you seek her assistance with a process that is both time consuming and difficult.
Senior Counsel Applicant
I found Nicole’s capacity to understand my practice and draw out aspects that assisted my application to be invaluable. Her ability to organise my thoughts into a coherent document saved me significant time and certainly improved the final submission.
Senior Counsel Applicant
Having retained LawConnexion personally to assist me with my own practice, I recommended Nicole O’Hare to our floor to manage a project we were interested in getting under way. Shortly thereafter, the floor engaged LawConnexion and Nicole responded with her usual enthusiasm, flair and expertise. She is well-organised and ensured that any actions taken were in accordance with our preferences as a floor. LawConnexion has substantially enhanced the profile of our floor and we were particularly pleased with Nicole’s professionalism, attention to detail and the ideas she brought to the project that has helped to set us apart and become a leading set of chambers in Sydney.
Nicole has an extensive international network, particularly in the Asia-Pacific Region and she works hard to ensure that her clients receive maximum benefit from her relationships.
Despite my initial wariness about the value of the service offered by LawConnexion, I became converted to the true value it offers. With tact and diplomacy, and by interviewing my clients (solicitors), Nicole facilitated me to perceive my weaknesses as Counsel, and pointed to the strengths. She made me rethink how I needed to present to clients, and how to better add value to the services I can offer them. Nicole has a genuine commitment to her clients. She is a dedicated professional. I unreservedly recommend her services.
I have engaged Nicole on several projects and I have been delighted with her work. Nicole is the consummate professional, easy to work with, meets deadlines and produces an incredible work product. Her attention to detail and devotion to her clients is outstanding. Nicole has a deep understanding of the legal industry and implements that to her client's advantage.
In the 12 months that I have retained LawConnexion, Nicole has improved my practice, both internally and externally. She helped me to be more efficient and client-focussed and I have a much better understanding and appreciation of my clients' needs and their expectations of me as a barrister. I would recommend LawConnexion to any barrister seeking to develop their practice, improve their skills and "connect" better with their clients.
A personal trainer for a barrister's practice, Nicole coached me into exercising my capabilities and sustain a higher level of performance. Supplying no-nonsense, practical, and bespoke advice delivered with experience, expertise and effervescence, I recommend Nicole to any barrister brave enough to be better.
Last year was one of the quieter years since I came to the Bar. With Nicole O’Hare’s guidance, I have been able to turn my practice around. She has assisted me with introductions, strengthened my professional profile at both a client and industry level, and has helped me to better understand the value I can add to my solicitor clients. Her assistance has been invaluable. I would recommend her to any barrister.
Nicole is always professional, approachable and insightful. I have benefitted from great practical advice on how to understand my clients, in order to serve them better. With Nicole's insight, strategy and advice, I have taken the reins and started to build a practice which previously seemed out of reach.
Nicole is the trusted business advisor for my short, medium and long-term practice development plans. I chose Nicole, because she works with barristers at every stage of their career cycle, and through her exceptional connections and experience, she brings objectivity, insight and most importantly, strategy to her clients' practices. This enables Nicole to provide a career-lifetime of guidance, no matter where you are starting from.
