Doyle's Guide 2025 - Family Law
Barry Nilsson’s Family Law team has once again received impressive recognition in the annual Doyle’s Guide.
This year, BN maintained its national listing as 'First Tier Family & Divorce Law Firm' in Australia. Additionally, BN was recognised as both a First Tier Family & Divorce Law Firm in Brisbane and Third Tier Family & Divorce Law Firm in Sydney, and has also been elevated to Third Tier Family & Divorce Law Firm in Melbourne. Amongst this impressive firm recognition, we have also achieved 20 individual lawyer listings across four family law categories.
“This is another outstanding result for our national family law team and a testament to the expertise of our people and the exceptional client service we continue to deliver to clients across the country.” – Geoff Sinclair, Family Law Principal
