SOPHIE Senior Consultant
Sophie is a qualified lawyer with over 13 years experience as a lawyer and legal recruiter in Brisbane. Having practiced as a solicitor before moving into recruitment, she has firsthand experience of what it’s like to work within the legal profession and the responsibilities and expectations that go with it. She has a deep understanding of the local legal market, an expansive network and strong industry knowledge.
As a Senior Consultant at Alex Correa Executive, Sophie enjoys being able to partner with legal professionals by helping them find a role which 'ticks all their boxes', whether that be in private practice, government or in-house. Some of her recent successes include supporting a P & E Senior Associate in finding their dream-role at a top tier firm; a Pro-Bono lawyer in a national mid-tier and a litigation Associate within a global firm. She has also worked on a number of key roles with NFPs and government departments including Women’s Legal Service, Safe Places for Children, Queensland Corrective Services, Crown Law and Queensland Health.
Sophie is particularly proud of the reputation Alex Correa Executive has garnered as specialists in in-house legal recruitment. Partnering with organisations such as Transurban, Queensland Hydro, QLD Urban Utilities, and Ray White to grow and strengthen their legal teams is something she finds extremely rewarding.
Sophie has an energetic outlook and is driven by the challenge in identifying legal talent in a candidate short market. She is known for her enthusiasm and dedication to her role at Alex Correa Executive, which makes both our clients and candidates feel valued and understood.
Being a mum of 2 young children, Sophie is a strong advocate for balance in both work and personal life. Having a career she loves, is what keeps her going; and spending quality time with her family and friends is what keeps her grounded.
Being competitive at heart and having a passion for bringing likeminded people together, it is no surprises that Sophie is a regular at her local crossfit box. She is a lover of all things food, wine and coffee so you can expect any meetings with her will also involve one of these things.
