Carina Barnett | Juno Legal | Lawyer

Capability

Having been in an in-house commercial environment for over a decade, I am experienced at providing solution-focused advice with a commercial lens. I have been acknowledged by business stakeholders as a valuable thinking partner that truly partners with the business, including not only focusing on protecting the business but also focusing on the needs of end customers.

I work in a personable and approachable manner and love collaborating alongside different stakeholders, always striving to understand their needs and perspectives. I like to take a holistic approach, turning my mind to how different parts of the puzzle fit together to ensure workable, sustainable, and future-proofed outcomes. I also believe in embracing legal systems and design principles to ensure in-house teams are working as effectively as possible when demands are high on in-house legal teams.
