Hayley Clark
Hayley was admitted as a lawyer in 2014 and has practiced solely in the area of personal injury law. She assists clients with various types of compensation claims including motor vehicle accidents, workers’ compensation, public liability and medical negligence.
Hayley has a special interest in catastrophic and serious injury claims, having assisted a number of clients injured in catastrophic motor vehicle accidents and workplace injuries. She spent a year regularly travelling from Brisbane to work exclusively with clients in the Central Queensland region, primarily assisting with workplace injuries occurring within the heavy industry sector.
Hayley first teamed up with Shane in 2010, working in support roles while completing her university studies. This experience from a grass roots level has given Hayley invaluable experience in assisting clients in all aspects of the claim process. Knowing that nothing she can do as a lawyer can take away the injuries a client has suffered and their consequences, Hayley is dedicated to ensuring her clients feel supported through the legal process and obtaining the best possible outcome to their claim.
Away from work, Hayley loves to spend time with her husband and tries to manage a rambunctious dachshund. She was an avid hockey player, having played for some 25 years, and is a regular at her local gym.

Shannen is highly efficient at her role without skimping on the personal details and treats every client with the utmost dignity and respect.
Shannen loves the relaxed lifestyle the peninsula offers and weekends are spent with her husband, two young daughters and two wayward dogs exploring the beach and rockpools, attending junior sporting events or what seems like the never-ending stream of children’s birthday parties.
