Many of Australia's best-known law firms and largest corporations were represented, alongside a number of smaller but well-regarded players.

A stand-out even among other high performers, Harmers Workplace Lawyers solicitor Amy Zhang was named in two categories: dispute resolution and workplace relations, employment and safety.

Winners were announced at a cocktail function at the Ivy Ballroom last Friday, hosted by comedian Tommy Little.

Lawyers Weekly congratulates all the winners.
