Held at Doltone House in Sydney’s Pyrmont on 20 October, the sixth annual awards night recognised the superb achievements of law firms and individual practitioners across Australia. Nine major practice areas received special acknowledgment, with awards also going to best individual firm, best managing partner and a young gun, among other prestigious categories.

Organised by the publishers of Lawyers Weekly and endorsed by the Australian Corporate Lawyers Association (ACLA), the 2006 Awards used a rigorous new methodology, developed in close consultation with the legal profession.
