Doyle's Guide 2026 names Lander & Rogers as Australia's top-tier family law practice
Australasia's largest family law practice, Lander & Rogers, has been recognised as a first-tier firm nationally in Doyle's Guide 2026 for the eighth consecutive year.
The national practice group leader of Lander & Rogers' family and relationship law practice, Collette McFawn, said: “This recognition reflects the deep trust our clients and referrers place in us and the commitment our people bring to supporting families through some of life’s most complex moments. We are proud to be recognised once again. This recognition reinforces that specialist expertise and empathy can sit side by side in family law.”
Doyle's Guide is one of the legal industry's most prestigious rankings programs. The 2026 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.
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 practice brings together more than 85 family lawyers nationally, including 40 accredited specialists, international practitioners, collaboratively trained lawyers, mediators, arbitrators and two innovation managers. It’s this concentration of specialist talent that allows us to shape services around each client’s unique priorities,” said Ms McFawn.
"We invest in our people and continually evolve the way we work - so clients benefit from both deep expertise and a family law experience that feels clearer, more supportive and easier to navigate.”
