Over 500 people gathered at the Ivy Ballroom, Sydney on Friday, 23 June 2017, to recognise the best young talent Australia’s legal profession has to offer.

Each of the 15 categories had asked entrants to submit their work over the past 12 months, their leadership within the firm and their contributions to the legal sector.
