Lawyers Weekly celebrated the 30 best lawyers in Australia under the age of 30 in Sydney on Friday night.

Women made a clean sweep in the Corporate Counsel and Insurance categories, and one accomplished female entrant became the first lawyer to pick up multiple awards on the night.
Suzanne Kathryn Brown from McKays Solicitors was a winner in both the Energy & Resources and Government categories.
