Juliet Fay
Partner*, Sydney
In my role leading the integrated flexible resourcing solutions business MinterEllison Flex, I focus on providing clients with the best available legal talent to meet their temporary resourcing needs and supporting lawyers seeking a different way to develop their careers.

I am passionate about giving clients access to the best legal talent and assisting experienced lawyers wanting to access different opportunities that still provide career progression and extension.

Utilising my extensive global and local experience gained from leadership and management consulting roles in diverse sectors such as financial services, legal, government and engineering, I am able to quickly understand the needs of both our clients and our Flex lawyers.

My experience as a client of in-house legal teams and experience working in and as a client of top-tier law firms ensures that I have a deep and unique appreciation of the challenges faced by in-house legal teams as well as private practice lawyers seeking to develop in-house careers.

I am energised by the strong track record we have built with clients across a number of industries and the dynamic and diverse national pool of talented lawyers that choose to work with us.
