This year, the event will be held on 22 July at The Star in Sydney. It will also be live streamed, so those unable to attend in person can still partake in a black-tie evening from the comfort of living rooms or offices!

Speaking ahead of the awards, Lawyers Weekly deputy editor Jerome Doraisamy said it is thrilling for the masthead to once again host this event for leaders across Australia’s legal profession. 

“Despite the enormous success of the 2020 Partner of the Year Awards, for which our events department hosted a condensed in-person event together with an extraordinary live broadcast component for those at home, it is very pleasing that we will be able to celebrate with all of the finalists and winners in-person again,” he said.

“After the stress that senior legal professionals were put under this past year in not only managing their teams but keeping their businesses running, it is our absolute pleasure to be able to acknowledge their hard work and celebrate accordingly.

“We are also very pleased to have CBA on board as principal partner for this year’s event. Their support is greatly appreciated, and this event promises to be spectacular.”

Commonwealth Bank’s national director of professional services Daniela Pasini added: “We’re delighted to be supporting the legal industry through our sponsorship of the Partner of the Year awards."

"The awards this year showcase the resilience of individuals and firms across the country who have adapted to and led the way through unprecedented times. I wish all the nominees this year the best of luck," she said.
