Associate
Alexandra Jarrett is an Associate in Hall Payne Lawyers Employment and Industrial Relations and Criminal Law team in Brisbane. She has experience representing clients in employment matters, industrial disputes, and criminal law proceedings.

Alexandra graduated from the Queensland University of Technology in 2020 with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Business (Public Relations). She was admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2021 and the High Court of Australia in 2022.

Before becoming a solicitor, Alexandra worked as an Associate to the Honourable Justice Collier in the Federal Court of Australia for approximately 18 months. During this time, she gained valuable experience across a wide range of national practice areas, including employment and industrial relations, native title, administrative and constitutional law, and human rights. This role strengthened her passion for employment and industrial relations law and provided her with unique insight into court processes and decision‑making.

In practice, Alexandra regularly appears in Magistrates Courts across South‑East Queensland, both instructing counsel and advocating for clients in mentions and sentencing hearings involving matters such as driving offences, assault, and domestic violence. She also represents clients in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, the Fair Work Commission and the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission in general protections, discrimination, and unfair dismissal matters. Her approach is client‑focused and pragmatic, aimed at providing clear guidance and achieving the best outcomes.
