Akylah Barker.
Receptionist
Akylah Barker is the friendly face at our front desk and the first point of contact for many of our clients. With a natural flair for organisation and a keen interest in law, Akylah began her legal journey at just 15 through a school-based traineeship at another law firm. She’ll be continuing that path when she begins her Bachelor of Laws at USC in 2026.
Driven by collaboration and a genuine desire to learn, Akylah is known for her quick thinking, fast learning, and her ability to keep things running smoothly. She believes a successful outcome is when work is completed quickly, thoroughly, and with the client’s experience front of mind.
Akylah has a unique knack for reading body language and deep diving into problems to find practical solutions – an instinct that serves her well both in and out of the workplace. Outside of the office, you’ll often find her exploring new places or hunting down the best local eats. She also has a secret talent for remembering numbers and is the go-to among friends for social advice and epic list-making.
