Our Legal Team
Helen Allard | Director
Meet Helen, our snow-boarding, Vizsla-loving, IP guru with a special interest in Privacy and Employment Law. When she’s not trying to tire out her energised Vizsla pup, she’s sinking her teeth into her clients' businesses to find the best legal solutions that align with their strategy and values. Helen loves working at Clearpoint Legal so much, she’s never worked anywhere else! In fact, Clearpoint Legal does law so differently, she thrives in it’s inclusive working environment and unique approach to legal services. When Helen isn’t having the time of her life at work, you can find her taking some time out on the paddle board.
Joel Cranshaw | Director
With more than 20 years in commercial law under his belt, and experience within multiple industries (technology, banking & finance, distribution and manufacturing companies), Joel has developed and managed teams, created systems and processes to support these companies. He's worked with social enterprises and is an advocate of collaborative work spaces and pursuing the TBL in corporate governance. His true passion lies in building strong relationships with his clients and finding out about their business. Being able to point his clients in the right direction to get the best advice, at the right time. When Joel’s not implementing systems, he loves to unwind with a cold beer, grow things in the garden and hang out with his family.
Olivia Blair | Lawyer
Olivia thrives on giving her clients practical legal advice and loves to help her clients find worthwhile commercial compromises or risk management solutions. With experience in the Community Legal sector, Public Relations and Hospitality, Olivia gets a lot of satisfaction from Clearpoint Legal’s ‘client and outcome’ focus. When she’s not sharing her legal knowledge with clients, she co-runs a multifaceted, yet financially un-savvy business that provides catering, transport and cleaning services, amongst other things, to a three-tyrant-circus, also known as ‘parenthood’. Current favourite places to hang out (not always by choice) are at the park or the zoo.
Fiona Traikovski | Office Manager
What would we do without Fiona?! Fiona provides essential systems support to the Clearpoint team, overseeing all executive business administration. With 24 years experience under her belt, Fiona has played an integral part in supporting senior executives in global organisations including the Financial Services and mining sectors. Her passion to contribute to the success of an organisation, build professional relationships and help people achieve their goals, are what fuels Fiona’s fire. When Fiona hangs up the headset at the end of the week, you’ll find her spending time with her much loved family, catching up with friends, baking or keeping fit and staying healthy.
