Last chance to submit for 2022 Australian Law Awards
With just three days to go until nominations and submissions close, lawyers are being urged to lodge their submissions this week for the 2022 Australian Law Awards – especially for new categories.
Lawyers Weekly, in partnership with our principal partner UNSW Law and Justice, is looking forward to hosting the black-tie gala ceremony on Friday, 12 August 2022, at the Australian Turf Club, Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney.
The Australian Law Awards – which is returning for its 22nd year – brings together all demographics of the legal profession and acknowledges their ongoing efforts in not only propelling the legal industry forward but also making inroads in their own professional careers.
Moreover, the awards program showcases the depth of talent in law firms and organisations across the industry in Australia while recognising the achievements, contributions, and capabilities of individuals, firms, and organisations.
It is an opportunity for law firms, managing partners, general counsel, barristers, and legal scholars to distinguish themselves and strengthen their position while retaining and attracting the best talent and business.
The awards are peer-reviewed and judged by a well-respected and trusted panel. The judging criteria for award categories are both quantitative and qualitative, acknowledging growth, business development, diversity, leadership, innovation, business excellence and contribution to Australia’s legal sector.
This year, Lawyers Weekly is privileged to introduce new categories into the awards program, including:
- Mediator/Arbitrator of the Year Award category, which recognises their outstanding performance either in a law firm or in a sole practice (including at the bar);
- Litigator of the Year Award category, which recognises the outstanding achievements by a litigator at any level; and
- Legal Operations Professional of the Year award category, which recognises outstanding performance by legal operations professionals at any level, either in-house or in a law firm.
Submit your entry or nominate a colleague whom you believe is worthy of recognition before Friday, 3 June, for the chance to walk home with a trophy at this year’s awards program.
