We’d be lying if we told you that this bloke isn’t the big honcho of our team, but his name is a dead give-away. The founder of Lazarus Legal, Barry is an old school, tough as nails lawyer. They don’t forge litigators like this anymore.
With decades of experience in both Australia and South Africa, his wisdom is as renowned as his name. Back in the days when Schwarzenegger and Van Damme were kicking ass on VHS, Barry was kicking ass in the courtroom. And after all these years, he still has a reputation for refusing to back down.
The visionary behind the business and the fresh blood of the Lazarus Legal team, Mark (or Laz as he is often known) owes much of his success to his past experiences. And he’s made it his personal goal to bring that wisdom and formula to the firm.
He’s a bit of a jet setter, splitting his time between Australia and the UK, maximising every hour of his professional life. He thrives on this adrenalin. It allowed him to work in private practice in Sydney, act for a host of famous celebrities in London, do a two-year stint as a NSW barrister (and not the pretentious coffee type in the Melbourne laneways) and more recently did a gig as the Legal Director, covering Europe, the Middle East and Africa for one of the world’s coolest fast-moving consumer good brands!

Wilyen is the go-to advisor of the team. There’s no problem or matter he won’t take on, and when he does, he’ll come up with a solution inside or outside the box. With a pragmatic approach as a lawyer, he’s a “no B.S.” kind of guy that will find the quickest and best result from point A to point B. Together with a strong focus on reaching real and sensible solutions for his clients, he’ll go above and beyond to meet his client’s expectations.
Whether it’s taking on Supreme Court or Federal Court matters or tackling complex commercial agreements, Wilyen will ensure that his matters are carried out thoroughly to a T. He’s a bit of a perfectionist, but that’s kinda what you want in a lawyer right? He looks at the ins-and-outs of any problem and approaches it like a puzzle in order to solve it. But he’s a bit of a puzzle himself – one we cannot quite figure out.
One thing we can say for sure about him is that it’s true what they say…“If there’s a Will, there’s a way”.
When it comes to crunching numbers and having a creative flair for accounting matters, we can get a bit reliant on our internal advisor, Hanna. Since graduating from her Bachelors of Accounting in 2009 from the Holmes Institute, Hanna has garnered substantial experience in accounting firms and in-house bookkeeping.
Although at first glance she appears to be demure and reserved, you’ll be surprised at how resilient Hanna is and how much of a fighter’s attitude she has. In her pursuit of success she lives and breathes by the following motto:
“When you fall down, you gotta pick yourself back up and keep on going ’cause sometimes there isn’t going to be a person there to do it for you.”
