Family Law

Nominations for the 8th annual Family Law Awards are set to close on Friday 15 June.

If you haven’t submitted your nomination yet, there’s still time and there are 19 awards categories to choose from. See the list of awards and the criteria on the Family Law Awards site.

Over the past 8 years, the Family Law Awards have firmly established themselves as a highly prestigious event, celebrating the success and achievements of family lawyers and the vital contribution that they make to society. The 2018 ceremony will take place on Wednesday 28 November.

The shortlist and winners will once again be chosen by a judging panel made up of the heads of the Family Law Bar Association, Resolution and the Association of Lawyers for Children, along with Family Law editors and publishing executives. The Pro Bono Award winner will be decided by key figures from the pro bono community.

In keeping with tradition, three of this year’s Awards will be voted for by the family law community (Clerking Team, Legal Executive, and Commentator Awards). A shortlist of four nominees will be selected by LexisNexis from the nominations received and voting will open on the Family Law Awards website in September.
