Sharon Harding LLB BComSolicitor

Unlike your typical lawyer, Sharon did not enter the legal profession immediately after graduating from Notre Dame University with a Bachelor of Law/Commerce – instead Sharon set her sights on a career in hospitality which saw her travelling the world for 5 years and culminated in her appointment as Assistant Food and Beverage Manager at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne where she was responsible for a supervising team of over 300 staff.

A twist of fate saw Sharon return to Perth where her passion for business and solving legal problems for business led her to join the team at Your LegalHQ where she has continued to build her knowledge and skills to meet the needs of a wide variety of business clients. Sharon has a particular passion for protecting client’s assets, estate planning and business succession.

In her spare time Sharon will be found boating, camping, fishing or spoiling her beloved American Staffies.

Prior to this, equipped with a Bachelor of Marketing and Media, Brett worked for the global FMCG company Red Bull Energy Drink in Sydney and Perth. There as a marketing manager he contributed to business planning, marketing campaigns, event management, sales and public relations around Australia. Brett now continues to build on his prior commercial experience to service the firm’s clients by advising not only on the technicalities of the law, but how it can be used as a tool to meet business objectives.
