The finalist list, which was announced on Wednesday, 20 April, features over 270 high-achieving professionals across 31 submission-based categories.
Reaching the finalists stage is regarded as an incredible achievement across the Australian legal industry, showcasing the depth of dedication and commitment each individual brings to advancing the industry.
Lawyers Weekly editor Jerome Doraisamy said: “There is no bigger or better celebration of the myriad achievements of Australia’s emerging generation of leaders in law.
“With the market looking ahead to a post-pandemic landscape, and the nature of legal service delivery still evolving, it is increasingly challenging for young legal professionals to make their mark – but the current climate is also rife with opportunities.
“The 30 Under 30 Awards allows us to acknowledge and recognise those up-and-comers who are doing extraordinary things against the backdrop of turbulent and uncertain times. The winners and finalists at this event will, in almost all cases, be the lawyers who will help shape the direction of Australia’s legal profession for years to come.”
Mary Grant, Director at McTaggart Grant Lawyers, said that she was humbled to be recognised and proud to be named as a finalist in the Commercial Law category for the Lawyers Weekly 30 Under 30 Awards 2022.
