Hayley brings more than a decade of legal experience to Tonkin Clacey Inc, where she specialises in property development and commercial property transactions.
She began her legal career in 2014, serving her articles at a firm focused primarily on property law, deceased estates and litigation. That grounding gave her early, hands-on exposure to the full lifecycle of property matters, from transfer and registration through to dispute resolution. After completing her articles, she went on to practise as an Associate across property law and property development, commercial law and litigation, and was admitted as an Attorney, Notary and Conveyancer of the High Court of South Africa in 2017.
In 2020, Hayley broadened her professional reach with her admission as a Solicitor of New South Wales, Australia, a qualification that reflects both her commitment to professional growth and her ability to navigate legal frameworks across jurisdictions.
Since joining Tonkin Clacey Inc in 2025, Hayley has continued to build on her expertise in property development and commercial property transactions. Clients value her strong grasp to both the legal and commercial sides of property law, which allows her to offer advice that is practical, solution-driven and aligned with their business objectives. She is known for her efficient, professional approach and her focus on moving matters forward with clarity and care.
Outside the office, Hayley brings the same discipline and energy to her personal interests of strength and conditioning training, horse riding and scuba diving.
