NEWS: 27 Lawyers recognised as Best Lawyers in Australia Award recipients

April 18, 2024

We are pleased to announce that 27 lawyers have been included in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in Australia.

We are also thrilled to share that Principal, Andrew Saxton, is recognised as the 2025 Lawyer of the Year for Medical Negligence in Sydney.

A single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is awarded Lawyer of the Year, and is selected based on their professionalism and integrity.

Andrew is also listed for his expertise in Health and Aged Care Law.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.

Lawyers who are nominated for consideration are voted on by currently recognised lawyers working in the same practice area and located in the same geographic region. Awards and recognitions are based entirely on the feedback received from these lawyers. Those who receive high peer reviews, undergo an authentication process to ensure they are in current practice and in good standing.

Further details about Best Lawyers and the methodology employed is available here.
