DW Fox Tucker Lawyers is delighted to announce that several of our firm’s leaders and a rising star have been recognised in the 2025 Edition of Best Lawyers in Australia awards across 15 categories. This recognition underscores the hard work and dedication our lawyers exemplify to support our firm's commitment to delivering excellent service to clients across a broad range of practice areas.
We want to extend special recognition to our revered colleague, Sandy Donaldson, a seasoned commercial and intellectual property law professional, for his award in the emerging and specialist field of Privacy and Data Security Law. With a keen interest in all of the diverse areas of law noted below, and also telecommunications, this increasingly important area of law resonates deeply with Sandy, who has devoted a lot of time working with the firm’s clients to ensure their systems, policies, and procedures meet the highest standards for privacy and digital asset protection.
Our leading lawyers
Our firm has a proud history of consistent recognition by Best Lawyers. Ben Duggan has been honoured in employment law for an impressive 16 consecutive years, followed by Sandy Donaldson’s remarkable achievements for 15 straight years, John Tucker’s recognition spans 14 years, and John Walsh is closing in on a decade.
Being recognised in Best Lawyers is a privilege as it is the world’s oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. If you are unfamiliar with the Best Lawyers process, a local peer review system is used to gain a consensus opinion on an individual’s professional capabilities. As such, we take great pride in our extensive representation across various legal fields.
