Run with the support of principal partner Leo Cussen Centre for Law, it will be held on Thursday, 24 November 2022, at Grand Hyatt in Melbourne. You can buy your tickets to attend the ceremony here.

Lawyers Weekly is delighted to reveal that it received over 820 submissions this year, out of which 286 finalists have been chosen to battle it out for the coveted awards across over 30 individual and group categories.

At the end of the evening, the highest-scoring winner will be the recipient of the prestigious Women in Law Excellence Award.

The 2022 finalists span the breadth of the law profession, including partners, barristers, general counsel, in-house counsel, chief executive officers, principals, general managers, solicitors, legal assistants, and marketing specialists.

The national Women in Law Awards program celebrates excellence, as well as the hard work and dedication of the leading women in the legal profession, while showcasing their talents and achievements and presenting an opportunity for them to attract more clients and propel their careers.

For organisations, winning an award in the group category will distinguish them from their peers and competitors when attracting and retaining talent, which is crucial in the current labour market.

The awards are peer-reviewed by a panel of well-respected judges, who will recognise those women who have demonstrated their passion to drive the legal profession forward.

Speaking ahead of the event, Lawyers Weekly editor Jerome Doraisamy congratulated all the finalists on their achievements.

“Recognising the women that make up the legal profession in Australia remains of critical importance in the current landscape, and Lawyers Weekly is honoured to be able to do so at this event,” he said.
