ABOUT US
Partner With a Law Firm On a Mission to Support Women’s Independence
We believe that the women building Australia's next generation of businesses deserve strategic legal partners who are genuinely invested in their success.
For 10 years, women in business have trusted Her Lawyer with their most important business decisions
Business ownership can give women freedom, financial security and choice.
But it also comes with risk. For women, those risks are unique and often have impacts beyond the business itself.
Traditional law firms can make those risks harder to manage. Processes that feel formal, opaque and transactional, and that don’t consider their unique needs, can leave women-led businesses at a disadvantage.
Her Lawyer is built upon a simple belief: when women have access to clear, commercially sound legal advice, they can make better decisions about money, risk, growth, and their future.
We exist to help women build businesses from a position of legal and commercial strength. Our mission is to help women create the long-term financial independence that supports their ambitions, their families, their teams and their communities.
We’d be honoured to help you next.

Meet the Women Supporting Your Success
Courtney Bowie
Founder and Principal
Courtney is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and single mum to two boys. She’s passionate about helping women achieve financial independence through business, because she’s seen first-hand how life-changing it can be.
After starting her career as a commercial litigator in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, followed by years working as a commercial lawyer, Courtney founded Her Lawyer to make specialist legal support more accessible to women in business. Her mission is to take the overwhelm out of commercial law and give women the knowledge and self-confidence to back themselves in business.
With almost 15 years of experience, a Bachelor of Laws, a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice and a Diploma of Leadership and Management, Courtney brings both the technical know-how and the lived experience to guide her clients on the most effective business infrastructure on which to build their dream businesses.
Her work supporting women in business was recognised in 2020 with the NSW Emerging Leader Award at the Telstra Business Women’s Awards, and in the same year she received Lawyers Weekly’s 30Under30 Wellness Advocate of the Year Award for her contributions to small practice, women in law and mental health in the profession. Courtney is a regular contributor to and collaborator with the Law Society of New South Wales, the Law Society Journal and Lawyers Weekly.
When she’s not championing women in business, you’ll find her chasing after her boys and enjoying life on the Central Coast.
Isabel Carnemolla
GAICD, Principal
Isabel is a co-owner and principal lawyer at Her Lawyer, where she’s worked with female small business owners as a commercial lawyer since 2020. A graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, she blends her commercial and legal acumen to help women protect and grow their dream businesses and build lives they love.
Isabel is passionate about accessible contract design, and has a particular skill for designing creative contracts and resources that make contracts easier and more enjoyable for small business owners to use.
She’s a practising member of the Law Society of New South Wales and has been admitted to the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the High Court of Australia. After completing a Bachelor of Laws and Graduate Diploma of Legal Studies, Isabel went on to complete a Masters in Business Law and became a Graduate Fellow of the College of Law. She also holds a Bachelor of Business, majoring in marketing, management and entrepreneurship, giving her clients the benefit of a lawyer who can apply a genuinely commercial lens to their legal strategy.
