Rachelle Hare

Rachelle has over 20 years of experience as a senior lawyer specialising in construction law, contracting, major projects, risk, compliance, and procurement for business and government. She is also a strategic management consultant and business adviser, and there is very little about contracts, the practicalities of business and carrying out projects that she doesn’t know.

She has acted as General Counsel, Senior Legal Counsel, Procurement Adviser, Commercial Officer, Contract Administrator, Compliance Manager and Strategic Adviser in different organisations – these roles have given her a depth of experience that is rare for most lawyers.

She has worked in top-tier law firms, government, Tier 1 construction companies (Thiess and Laing O’Rourke) and major providers (Airservices and DHA) in Australia, and she has advised on international construction projects and has provided consulting advice to professionals and organisations around the world. Her knowledge of various industries allows her to effectively contribute to the overall strategic direction and performance of her clients. Rachelle has practiced in industries such as construction, property and development, retirement, government, Defence, ICT, infrastructure, civil, services, mining, water, wastewater and energy and has substantial experience in many forms of project delivery and project delivery methods.

• Carry out major projects
