Nominations for the 2024 NZ Law Awards close soon

The window for nominations to the NZ Law Awards will close next week, with the submissions period ending on Friday.

The awards are looking to honour the best in the New Zealand legal profession across 26 categories. The achievements of individuals, law firms, in-house teams and mediators will be recognised; the awards will also highlight standout deal work and crucial initiatives implemented by organisations to spotlight diversity and inclusion.

Those looking to put forward nominations can do so online; you can submit nominations for as many categories as you like. Among these categories is the Large Law Firm of the Year award, sponsored by Robert Walters.

“Our legal experts understand the immense effort and passion that legal professionals invest in their careers. It's an honour to be part of an event that celebrates excellence in the legal industry”, Robert Walters Australia and New Zealand CEO Shay Peters said.

Excellence Awardees will be announced on 5 September, and a panel of independent expert judges will identify the cream of the crop. The winners will be announced at a black-tie affair to be held at Auckland’s Viaduct Events Centre on 28 November. Comedy star Urzila Carlson will host the ceremony.

NZ Lawyer would like to extend special thanks to event partner LEAP Legal Software, as well as to event sponsors LexisNexis, Chisholm Clarke, Realaml, Robert Walters, Fluid Legal Recruitment, James & Wells, Russell McVeagh, Baker Tilly Staples Rodway, and Artemis Executive Recruitment for supporting this event and the recognition of legal excellence.
