At Elias Recruitment, we don’t just fill roles, we help shape careers with purpose, and few stories reflect that better than Sharon Levy’s.
Today, Sharon is a Partner in the commercial disputes team at leading Sydney law firm Bartier Perry. She’s a nationally recognised advocate for women, a community builder, and a mentor to future legal talent. Rewind a few chapters, and you’ll find her at a crossroads ready for something more meaningful. That’s where we met.
“Jason was incredibly professional and attentive, taking the time to get to know me and to understand my goals and what I wanted in my next role,” says Sharon. “He helped me seamlessly secure my position at Bartier Perry, a firm that aligns with my values and career aspirations.” Sharon was values-driven, visionary and laser-focused on using her legal skills to create positive change, exactly the kind of candidate we love representing.
Her impact speaks for itself:
- Partner at Bartier Perry
- Founder & Chair of The Haven – Nepean Women’s Shelter
- Penrith Woman of the Year (2019)
- Women Lawyers NSW Private Practice Lawyer of the Year (2021)
- Best Lawyer for Alternative Dispute Resolution 2026
“She had the legal capability, no doubt,” says Jason Elias, CEO of Elias Recruitment. “What stood out most was her commitment to community and purpose. We knew she’d be a force, not just within a firm, but far beyond it.”
Today, Sharon’s leadership extends into mentoring young women through Bartier Perry’s long-standing scholarship program with Western Sydney University. She also continues to drive change through The Haven, Nepean Women’s Shelter, which she founded in 2018. To date, it has delivered more than 40,000 safe bed nights to over 900 women and children escaping domestic violence. “She’s someone who brings her full self to the role, intellect, heart, and purpose,” Jason adds. “It’s an honour to have played a part in her journey.”
At Elias, we believe recruitment is about more than resumes and placements. It’s about seeing potential, backing values, and connecting exceptional people with opportunities to lead, grow, and make change. Sharon’s story is a reminder that when you align talent with purpose, the results can be transformative.
