Australian Law Awards
Celebrating Excellence in Australia’s Legal Industry
The Australian Law Awards is the premier national program recognising the achievements of the legal profession. For over 25 years, it has honoured the individuals and firms driving growth, innovation and excellence across the industry.
From managing partners and general counsel to barristers, legal scholars and rising stars, the awards shine a spotlight on those making a measurable impact in law. In addition, the annual black-tie gala has become the pinnacle celebration of talent in Australia’s legal community.
Importantly, the program applies a rigorous methodology developed in partnership with Lawyers Weekly, Momentum Media and a panel of leading legal professionals. As a result, every winner and finalist is judged against both quantitative and qualitative benchmarks — including growth, diversity, leadership, innovation, business excellence and contribution to the profession.
