Elevating Barristers. Defining Excellence.
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.
I regard Nicole as an outstanding young lawyer. Nicole has high personal standards and is of unquestionable integrity both intellectually and personally. She has a warm, pleasing, happy disposition that makes her a pleasure to work with. A particular quality that has impressed me is her reliability and her tireless and selfless commitment to fulfil her professional obligation to her clients — often at the expense of her own personal life. She is, in short, a conscientious, accomplished lawyer with a personal disposition that marks her out for success.
Ms Nicole O’Hare worked with me on a major Arbitration. When I agreed to undertake the Arbitration, a requirement was that I be given an efficient, knowledgeable and enthusiastic young lawyer who was prepared to work hard. Ms O’Hare was selected because she was thought to have those qualities. Her work with me has demonstrated that she has those qualities to the full.
She showed initiative in all tasks given to her, and was meticulous in her performance of them. She is a young lady of considerable intelligence with a sound legal background. She is personable and had no difficulty in discussions with partners in major firms. She shows an independence of mind which is commendable.
I am sure she will succeed in the areas which attract her interest. Were the opportunity to arise, I would have no hesitation in engaging Ms O’Hare to work with me again.
