Head Office

Following eight years as an experienced corporate lawyer specialising in mergers and acquisitions, Janelle decided to break tradition and carve a new path. She joined Hamilton Locke to build a firm that is evolving the legal industry and puts its people first.

With her in-depth knowledge of the legal market and trends, Janelle oversees everything from operations, people, IT, innovation, corporate development and strategic planning activities for the firm.

Janelle loves the challenge of nurturing a project from start to a successful finish. She is focused on improving process, identifying new opportunities and creating collaborative solutions that go beyond the law – ultimately deepening relationships with clients.
