Clare Turner
Special Counsel, Brisbane
A procurement, transport and disputes specialist operating across a range of sectors spanning government, healthcare, property, transport, infrastructure, and mining and energy and government.

Extensive major projects experience working together with government and private sector teams helping to bring some of Queensland's largest infrastructure projects to fruition.

I am a team player who is used to working with commercial, technical and legal teams, and am easy to work with, responsive, and understand how government and the private sector likes to do business and the governance processes it must follow.

I have a 'can do attitude'; am a people person; and a facilitator - who puts building relationships front and centre of what we do.
