The new Company Secretary of the Year award will recognise an individual professional who is of the utmost importance to a company’s day-to-day operations, whether that be from a corporate or public sector organisation.
The inaugural Indigenous Lawyer of the Year award will acknowledge a lawyer of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage who has demonstrated excellence in her practice area as well as supported Indigenous communities.
These new categories join a handful of other new additions to the Women in Law Awards – including Wellness Advocate of the Year and Innovator of the Year – as well as the splitting of the pre-existing categories of partner, senior associate and rising star to cover nominations in BigLaw, SME Law and NewLaw.
This year’s awards event will be held on Friday, 22 November, at a black-tie dinner at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne.
