'I like the fact that Barry Nilsson has a professional yet down to earth culture. It is full of passionate and enthusiastic people dedicated to achieving great outcomes for our clients.'

Immediately prior to joining Barry Nilsson, Ashlea was involved in the design and establishment of Justice Connect’s Domestic Building Legal Service (DBLS), a free program which helps Victorian homeowners involved in disputes with their builders. Ashlea has also worked in-house as a paralegal at an Australian based international company where, during her time there, she saw firsthand the importance of understanding a client’s business and making sure that legal solutions are tailored to the client’s needs.
