The search is on for New Zealand’s Most Influential Lawyers

Nominations opened last week for NZ Lawyer’s inaugural list of Most Influential Lawyers to recognise the most influential and hard-working professionals who are at the top of their game.

The published list will include candidates from the following categories:

  • Young Influencer: Lawyers born in or after 1980, who have had an extraordinary impact on the profession or society
  • Human Rights, Advocacy and Criminal
  • Changemakers: Lawyers in any area or type of practice who have been leaders, innovators, or catalysts for positive change in any area of the profession such as diversity, law firm management, education, etc.
  • Government/non-profits/associations: This includes public inquiries, officers of Parliament, academic institutions and the judiciary
  • Business

A place on the list is clear recognition and affirmation of a candidate’s hard work and dedication to rising above the unique challenges that the industry faces.

Nominations can be made through this brief online form. Self-nominations are also welcome.

Participation in this annual ranking provides a wealth of opportunity for businesses looking to build their profile in the industry – winners will be featured in the NZ Lawyer website and gain access to exclusive marketing and promotional opportunities designed to amplify their achievement across multiple channels. 

The Most Influential Lawyers 2021 report will be published on the NZ Lawyer website in July.
