Family Law Awards 28 November: The biggest family law event of the year

Date:30 OCT 2018

Michiel Willems

It is nearly November; nearly time for the annual LexisNexis' Family Law Awards.

The Awards were launched to recognise the important work of family lawyers, and celebrate their many successes and outstanding achievements.

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 shortlist and winners are 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.

In keeping with tradition, three of this year’s Awards are voted for by the family law community. A shortlist of four nominees will be selected by the judges from the nominations received and voting will open here in September.

Last year’s ceremony was attended by over 500 guests drawn from across the family law community, including solicitors’ practices, the Bar and the public sector.

Curious to find out who last year's winners were? Have a look at this short video.

The event presents an unrivalled opportunity to recognise the vital work of family lawyers and socialize with more than 500 of the leading lights of the family law community.

The Family Law Awards will be held on Wednesday 28 November at the exclusive Ballroom South Bank, 7 p.m. onwards.
