By a process of interviews with lawyers within practice areas and geographic regions, The Best Lawyers in Australia® seeks to recognise the best lawyers in the country by way of consensus regarding the professional abilities of their colleagues. Practitioners with the highest overall feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region are awarded the title “Lawyer of the Year”.
Twenty-four barristers practising from Level Twenty Seven Chambers are recognised in The Best Lawyers in Australia® 2024, the 16th edition of the guide. The list of those individuals is detailed below – unless otherwise mentioned, links to the full lists are for the Brisbane category.
The Best Lawyers in Australia® 2024 is published online on 20 April 2024, categorised by city and then practice area. The print edition will be published by the Australian Financial Review on 21 April 2023.
