Recognition
We're proud to be recognised for what matters
Award-winning work. People-powered excellence
Recognition for us isn’t just about the accolades; it’s about what they represent. Our awards and nominations reflect the ambition, integrity and excellence that drive our people and our work. They are a testament to the impact we make for clients, communities and the legal profession.
From ESG leadership to deal-making brilliance, our teams have been celebrated by leading industry bodies, media platforms and purpose-driven organisations.
These honours spotlight our commitment to innovation, collaboration and doing things differently, whether that means transforming residential property law, redefining client service or building sustainable communities.
We are proud of every nomination and win. More than that, we are proud of the people behind them—the thinkers, doers and changemakers who make our firm what it is.
