The black-tie gala dinner event will be held on Thursday, 28 July, at The Star in Sydney, providing the industry with an opportunity to connect with their peers and celebrate their successes.

Regarded as one of the legal profession’s most prestigious accolades, the awards pinpoint professional development and innovation, showcasing the individuals who are leading the way in the industry.

The awards recognise specialists from corporate and criminal to family, mergers and acquisitions, and many more across 36 categories, including Employment Partner of the Year, Wills & Estates Partner of the Year, Class Actions Partner of the Year, and Sports and Entertainment Partner of the Year.

They are open to all individuals and businesses operating in Australia supporting the business of law.

Speaking ahead of the awards, Lawyers Weekly editor Jerome Doraisamy said that he is excited for an even bigger showcase of the extraordinary work being undertaken by professional leaders.

“This year will see new categories, meaning more partners can and will be acknowledged for their myriad achievements,” he said.

“As a profession, it is essential that we take the time to appreciate the success of those leading on all client matters, big and small, that serve as cogs in the machine of our nation as we look to move past the global pandemic and into a new-look marketplace.
