Rising Stars 2020

Rising Stars 2020

The inaugural 2020 Rising Stars’ list has been put together by NZ Lawyer to honour up-and-coming stars in the legal profession who are committed to making a difference.

These future leaders have not only made incredible advancements within their own companies, but they’re also recognised by the wider legal profession for (but not limited to) their work with charitable trusts and organisations; for leading talks on diversity and inclusion; for producing books and papers on their areas of expertise to drive the industry forward; and most importantly, for being mentors to aspiring junior lawyers.

This is an unmatched list of the very best early-career professionals the industry has to offer. So, check out who the Rising Stars are and what makes each one of them stand out from the crowd.
