For over a decade, Lawyers Weekly has brought the legal profession the unparalleled 30 Under 30 Awards program where the finest young lawyers are championed for their hard work and dedication to establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with at the beginning of their legal careers.
There are 30 submissions-based categories on offer this year covering the breadth of the legal profession, including banking and finance, commercial, competition, trade, and regulation, dispute resolution and litigation, legal operations, planning and environment, real estate, and technology.
By entering the awards, young lawyers could gain national recognition and elevate themselves above their competitors as an up-and-coming star in the legal profession.
As the industry continues to play a vital role in driving the Australian economy, many lawyers have capitalised on winning the awards to distinguish themselves from their peers and strengthen their position in the profession by elevating their personal brand and unlocking new career opportunities.
They have also cemented their role as a key player for success in their law firms.
Judged by a highly-regarded panel of influential professionals, a 30 Under 30 award highlights the capabilities of young lawyers and their passion for driving the industry forward.
Momentum Media, Lawyers Weekly, and a panel of leading legal professionals have developed a robust awards methodology to form the backbone for assessing, analysing and benchmarking Australia’s leading professionals for the 30 Under 30 Awards 2025.
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.
All professionals that meet eligibility criteria from across Australia’s legal industry are encouraged to participate in the awards program.
