The 2019 Women in Law Awards has just launched, and this year’s event is shaping up to be the best one yet with the introduction of two new categories.
The inaugural Indigenous Lawyer of the Year award will acknowledge a lawyer of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage who has demonstrated excellence in her practice area as well as supported Indigenous communities.
These new categories join a handful of other new additions to the Women in Law Awards – including Wellness Advocate of the Year and Innovator of the Year – as well as the splitting of the pre-existing categories of partner, senior associate and rising star to cover nominations in BigLaw, SME Law and NewLaw.
This year’s awards event will be held on Friday, 22 November, at a black-tie dinner at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne.
