We have four new additions to the list and extend our congratulations to Rushil Sharma (Government), Emma Gruschka (Labour and Employment Law), Andrew Knight (Real Property Law) and Sarah Richards (Insurance Law and Professional Malpractice Litigation).

We also had 8 lawyers recognised in new categories—Paul O'Dea (Commercial Law and Leasing Law), Chris Rimmer (Litigation), Andrea Boyd-Boland (Personal Injury Litigation), John Coorey (Alternative Dispute Resolution), Bernadette Rayment (Immigration Law), Leon Sakaris (Leasing Law), Phillip Salem (Litigation) and Chris Wood (Product Liability Litigation).

Andrew White, National Managing Partner, said "We are proud to have so many lawyers recognised as experts in their speciality areas. Our lawyers are dedicated to putting our clients at the heart of everything we do and it's rewarding to see our peers acknowledge the results we are achieving for our clients by nominating and recognising our lawyers for their expertise."

Note: While we have 70 lawyers on the list across 29 specialty areas, some of them are recognised more than once so we have 131 entries on the list.

Here's the full list:

Best Lawyers has been published for 39 years and now publishes top legal talent in more than 70 countries. Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review and their opinions of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.
