About the awards

Recognising the leading partners and partner equivalents in the business of law

The Partner of the Year Awards returned in 2025, once again delivering an unparalleled awards program that identified legal partners, or partner equivalents, across individual practice areas within the Australian legal profession.

The awards were regarded as one of the legal profession’s most prestigious accolades, highlighting professional development and innovation, and showcasing the individuals who led the way in the industry.

Recognising specialists from corporate and criminal to family, mergers and acquisitions, and more, it was a chance to be recognised as one of the leading partners in Australia.

Attendees celebrated in style at an awards night designed for the stars. We were more excited than ever to honour those who propelled the industry forward.

Nominees took the first step toward national recognition and built a reputation for excellence. The awards were open to all individuals operating in Australia who supported the business of law.

Our Partner of the Year Awards will return in 2026. Register your interest today to be the first to know when submissions open.
