QLS Awards
Our awards shine a light on the exemplary efforts of Queensland’s legal professionals—highlighting good law, good lawyers, for the public good.
They provide the opportunity for outstanding solicitors, teams and organisations to showcase their ingenuity and contribution to both the legal profession and the broader community.
Nominations are only accepted only via our online platform, which allows us to conduct a stringent review of every nomination before judging. Each nomination goes through a detailed and independent review to assess merit, ensure the nomination form has been completed correctly, and that each submission clearly meets the strict criteria and guidelines of our awards.
Go to our nomination platform to see which awards are open for nomination, their criteria, esteemed judges and to submit an entry.
