“Her extensive experience supporting vulnerable clients and navigating complex legal frameworks reflects a deep commitment to achieving fair, compassionate, and practical outcomes.”
Rachel Stuart joins the North Lakes team as a Senior Associate. Admitted as a solicitor in 2017, Rachel holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and a Bachelor of Business (Accounting).
