The legal profession will have the opportunity to celebrate their achievements and the successes of their peers in-person at a glamorous black-tie ceremony on Friday, 3 June at The Star in Sydney.
The awards are open to all individuals aged 30 or under operating in Australia.
Speaking ahead of the awards, Lawyers Weekly deputy editor Jerome Doraisamy said the performance of emerging leaders in law have been extraordinary amid significantly challenging periods over the past 12 months.
"Those coming through the ranks have proven themselves in a market dominated by uncertainty, turbulence and social anxiety. That they have not only weathered the storm, but produced such magnificent work in that time, is a testament to their capabilities and potential," he said.
"We cannot wait to celebrate with all such emerging leaders of our legal profession on the night.”
Taylor Root partner, head of Australia Hayden Gordine commented that the legal recruitment firm has been a principal partner of the 30 Under 30 Awards since its inception, and “we are immensely proud of our association”.
“As a young lawyer, this is the first opportunity to stand out from the crowd, the first opportunity to be recognised as a star practitioner, to show the partners that you are partner potential, and to show clients that you are objectively better than the rest,” Mr Gordine said.
“Achieving 30 Under 30 status offers the foundation for career progression. As legal search and recruitment specialists, our consultants at Taylor Root see first-hand the importance and marketability of 30 Under 30 status.
“A nomination will have a dramatically positive impact on your personal branding, market value and it opens many doors. We see the value in an award that sets yourself apart from your peers and it is why Taylor Root continues to be principal partner of The Lawyers Weekly 30 Under 30 year after year.”
