Revealing the leading specialists in Australia and New Zealand

Australasian Lawyer and NZ Lawyer have revealed the Top Specialist Firms in Australia and New Zealand for 2025.

In law, specialisation matters more than ever. Today’s clients are not simply looking for legal services but trusted advisers with deep sectoral knowledge and the ability to deliver outcomes in unfamiliar or high-risk circumstances.

Top Specialist Firm Ligeti Partners chose to concentrate on motor property insurance litigation – an area it says many of its competitors see as “an ancillary area to what they see as other, more lucrative areas of insurance litigation”. Meanwhile, Construction Legal’s Jessica Rippon combined her legal expertise with husband Shawn’s engineering experience to develop a practice that could pick out not just legal issues, but technical issues as well.

Twomey Dispute Lawyers opted to master the field of litigation without dabbling in areas like estate planning or conveyancing. Kingston & Partners has spent its four years in the industry perfecting its expertise in non-bank lending and private banking.

As a personal injury firm, Henry Carus + Associates doesn’t just focus on securing compensation for clients, but also on “justice, dignity, and a better future for every person who walks through our doors”.

Other illustrious names on the winners’ list are:
