DW Fox Tucker Lawyers is delighted to announce that several of our firm’s leaders, and a rising star, have been consecutively recognised in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in Australia™ released today.
A special mention to our Consultant, Sandy Donaldson, who received the prestigious “Lawyer of the Year” award in Adelaide for Privacy and Data Security Law for 2026.
The recognition received by our lawyers, spanning 14 categories, highlights their hard work and dedication in supporting our firm's commitment to delivering excellent service to our clients across a range of practice areas.

The Best Lawyers evaluation process is undertaken through a local peer review method, which is used to gain a consensus opinion on an individual’s professional capabilities. As such, we take great pride in our extensive and consistent representation across many areas of law.
