Australasia's largest family law practice, Lander & Rogers, has been recognised as a first-tier firm nationally in Doyle's Guide 2025 for the seventh consecutive year.
The national practice group leader of Lander & Rogers' family and relationship law practice, Collette McFawn, said: "Our firm strives to deliver the best Australian law firm experience for our clients, our people and our community. We are delighted to have the continued support of our family law peers and network of referrers, and have that recognised in Doyles Guide 2025."
Doyle's Guide is one of the legal industry's most prestigious rankings programs. The 2025 lists of leading Australian family & divorce law firms and lawyers are compiled through surveys and interviews with clients, peers and industry bodies. This year, 15 lawyers from Lander & Rogers were individually profiled as leading family lawyers in their respective practising states, with six of those lawyers also making the national rankings.
For the first time, Doyle's Guide introduced a Market Leader category for Melbourne's leading family & divorce lawyers, which was awarded to Mark Parker. On his recognition, Mark said "I am humbled, and I consider it an enormous privilege to work with our clients and help them craft a new future, alongside our team of esteemed family lawyers."
Founded in Melbourne in 1989, Lander & Rogers' family law practice has grown rapidly in recent years, establishing a permanent presence in Sydney in 2016 and in Brisbane in January 2020. As well as being the largest family law practice of its kind in Australia, the group has a diverse service offering.
"Our team comprises over 75 lawyers practising across Australia, all working exclusively in family and relationship law. We have 33 accredited family law specialists, dedicated international family lawyers, collaboratively trained practitioners, qualified mediators and arbitrators and two innovation managers. This means we are uniquely placed to provide our clients with a family law service that truly caters to their individual priorities and family circumstances," said Ms McFawn.
"We are constantly exploring and investing in new technologies and processes to offer our clients a seamless family law experience."
