Submissions and nominations have opened for the 25th annual Australian Law Awards.
The Australian Law Awards has been a pillar of success across the legal profession for the last 25 years.
Run in partnership with principal partner Dye Durham, the unparalleled awards program is back to identify the top-performing legal professionals and firms across the nation.
The awards recognise academics, company secretaries, dealmakers, indigenous leaders, partners, litigators, senior associates, sole practitioners, and rising stars across the individual categories.
Meanwhile, the group categories acknowledge banking and finance teams, boutique law firms, legal operations and support professionals, new law firms, as well as regional/suburban law firms.
Submit an entry or nominate a worthy colleague or business by 23 May for a chance to be recognised.
There are a total of 35 categories on offer, including 22 individual and 13 group categories.
The awards will culminate in a black-tie gala ceremony on Thursday, 14 August 2025, at The Star, Sydney.
The ceremony will present a rare opportunity for legal professionals to network with industry leaders while celebrating the achievements of their colleagues and peers.
Submissions will be assessed by a judging panel including academics, business executives, entrepreneurs and innovators.
