Family Law Rankings Submission Form, 2027

Doyles Guide

Family Law Submission

For law firms and individual practitioners seeking consideration in the Doyle's Guide Family Law rankings. Please complete one submission per jurisdiction. All information is treated confidentially by the Doyle's Guide editorial team.

Submissions are entirely voluntary

Making a submission is not required for inclusion in the Doyle's Guide rankings, and firms and practitioners are considered whether or not they submit. A submission may assist our research, helping our editorial team understand your practice, guiding further enquiries and informing our assessment of positioning within the rankings, but it is not determinative of any outcome. Making a submission does not guarantee inclusion in any ranking.

Before you begin
  • Submissions are only open for a limited period during each Family Law research cycle.
  • Key matters must relate to work undertaken within the last 12 months only. Older matters will be disregarded.
  • Given the sensitive nature of family law, matters should be described generically with the parties anonymised (e.g. "In the matter of A and B"). Mark confidential matters as such and they will not be published.
  • Please provide at least 3 (up to 10) referees — referrers of work such as accountants, financial advisers, family office principals, family lawyers in other jurisdictions and other referring professionals, rather than an individual client who has instructed on one particular matter. Referees may be contacted as part of the research process and are never published.
  • Submitting in another practice area? Please use the Rankings Submission form for all other practice areas.
1. Applicant Details
2. Jurisdiction & Ranking Categories

Select the jurisdiction and the Family Law ranking categories in which you are seeking consideration. One submission covers all selected categories for that jurisdiction.

3. Key Practice Indicators

Numbers should reflect the family law practice in the nominated jurisdiction, not the firm as a whole (except where indicated).

Describe the practice: focus, client base, market position, panel appointments and any recent growth (lateral hires, promotions).

4. Key Matters — Last 12 Months Only

List the key family law matters the practice has acted on in the last 12 months. Matters completed or substantially progressed outside that window will be disregarded. Describe matters generically with the parties anonymised (e.g. "In the matter of A and B"). Add as many rows as needed (max 25).

5. Practice Area Contact Points

Please list ALL partners in this practice area, together with all counsel, of counsel, special counsel and consultants. These contact points are used for research verification and are not published.

6. Referee Details

Provide up to 10 referees who can speak to the work described in this submission (minimum 3). Referees should be referrers of work — accountants, financial advisers, family office principals, family lawyers in other jurisdictions and other referring professionals, or sources of repeat business — not an individual client who has instructed on one particular matter. Referees are used for research verification only and are never published or shown to other firms.
