2020 Rising Stars revealed

2020 Rising Stars revealed

At NZ Lawyer, we are committed to showcasing the very best talent in the legal profession.

With the New Year now in full swing, it’s time to reveal our inaugural 2020 Rising Stars list to honour early-career professionals making industry-wide waves.

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, and for producing books and papers on their areas of expertise to drive the industry forward.

What’s more, they have been trusted with high-profile clients who proactively seek their advice on major projects and are also mentors to junior lawyers both within and outside their firms.

Not surprisingly, many of them have picked up industry awards or ended up as finalists for their continuous hard work and dedication. 

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