She has been trained and influenced by the best in the business for both law and commerce. She now has a wide range of commercial and corporate experience.  

Starting a Law Firm: In 2021, Janey decided to leverage her skills, experience and passion to position herself as the principal advisor of her own commercial and corporate law firm specialising in capital raising.
