About the awards

Showcasing the women leading the charge in the Australian legal sector

Our biggest event recognising the influence of exceptional women across the Australian legal industry is back for 2025: the Women in Law Awards.

This prestigious national awards program presents an exceptional opportunity for leading women to showcase their achievements, attract more clients and propel their careers, on top of giving them the recognition they deserve.

This year, we will once again celebrate the best of the best in the business of law, and we will continue to highlight the women working within the industry, including executives, barristers, academics, pro bono lawyers, students and many more.

Take the first step to being recognised at a national level and build a reputation for excellence. The awards are open to all female individuals and businesses operating in Australia.

Get ready to celebrate in style with the 2025 black-tie gala event that will bring together leaders to celebrate the achievements and excellence of the most successful professionals and businesses at the legal industry’s night of nights.

Don’t miss your chance to win one of these coveted awards and reap the benefits of a prestigious accolade.
