HFW Law Firm of the Year Finalist at Australian Law Awards

Global, sector-focused law firm HFW has been shortlisted for Law Firm of the Year at the Lawyers Weekly Australian Law Awards 2025.

Lawyers Weekly says the award recognises firms that have “demonstrated outstanding, innovative approaches to business” and showcased their worth as “an employer of choice”.

It is judged by an independent panel of industry leaders, with firms having to demonstrate professional excellence and positive client outcomes, as well as a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and employee wellbeing.

The winners will be announced at a gala ceremony on 14 August.

HFW was one of the first international law firm entrants to Australia, opening an office in Melbourne in 2006. The firm now has more than 30 partners and 160 lawyers working across its three offices in the country, having launched in Sydney and Perth in 2009 and 2011, respectively.
