A full-service, boutique law firm based in Sydney.

Mallinson + Rake is a boutique law firm based in Sydney that offers a full range of legal services.

The firm was founded by lawyers who wanted to provide progressive and proactive legal advice for their clients without the restrictions and expenses associated with big firms.

When working with the team at Mallinson + Rake, you can expect professional, efficient and empathetic service handled personally by the partners themselves.

Our Team

The firm is led by Hayley Rake, supported by a wider network of barristers, subject matter experts, psychologists, doctors, specialists and support staff:

Hayley Rake, Partner

Hayley Rake is a founding partner at Mallinson + Rake Lawyers. Hayley is a dedicated and compassionate lawyer who is committed to social justice. While a great deal of her expertise is in criminal law, her experience also spans family law, employment law, personal injury, civil litigation and all levels of court proceedings.

Hayley’s entered the legal profession under the tutelage of one of Australia’s leading criminal defence barristers. During this time she was integral to some of Sydney’s most high profile criminal cases including trial matters concerning terrorism, murder and drug importations. Since that time, Hayley has worked for two leading law firms, acquiring experience in complex commercial and criminal litigation.

As a result of her involvement in high-profile trial matters, Hayley has access to some of the leading subject-matter experts, barristers and Senior Counsel.

In keeping with her commitment to social justice, Hayley is regularly retained by NSW Legal Aid to appear in a variety of criminal law matters – giving members of the community (who might otherwise be precluded) access to experienced legal representation

Hayley treats her clients with respect and consideration, helping them to understand what is ordinarily a very foreign process. She has a commitment to only taking on a certain amount of work at any one time to ensure she remains accessible, efficient and capable of producing the best outcomes.

Hayley holds a BA Laws from the University of Technology, Sydney and was admitted to the Supreme Court of NSW in October 2008.
