Quality and consistency through collaboration

Congratulations to Partner, Felicity Edwards, who has been named one of Australasian Lawyer and NZ Lawyer's Elite Women 2026.

Now in its sixth year, the Elite Women program recognises outstanding female leaders across the legal profession in Australia and New Zealand. Nominees were assessed on their professional achievements, leadership, industry contributions and the positive impact they have made on the profession over the past 12 months.

Following a highly competitive nomination process, the editorial teams selected just 105 women whose work is making a meaningful difference across the legal sector.

This recognition is a testament to Felicity’s leadership, expertise and contribution to both our firm and the broader legal profession and community. We are proud to see her achievements acknowledged among such an accomplished group of legal practitioners.

'I’m honoured to be recognised among such an exceptional group of women across the legal profession. This recognition reflects the support of my colleagues and clients. I’m proud to be part of the legal profession and welcome its ongoing evolution through strong leadership and a commitment to positive change,' said Felicity.
