We have done it again. Happy days! We are really pleased with the result and we hope to continuously improve.
Australasian Lawyer invited submissions from boutique law firms operating in Australia. The research team called for firms that employed fewer than 100 fee-earning lawyers and derived at least 60% of their revenue from one practice area. Firms were asked to fill out an online entry form nominating potential candidates. Entrants were asked to name their area of specialisation, discuss their achievements over the past 12 months and explain why they stood apart from their competitors. Boutique firms that put themselves forward included specialists in employment law, family law, and disputes. To determine who made the list, the team considered factors such as the strength of the matters handled by the firms, their longevity in the industry, their client service delivery approach and noteworthy achievements in meeting client needs.
