The 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in Australia™ has recognized 34 lawyers in 32 practice areas from across Jones Day's four Australian offices. Five lawyers were named "Ones To Watch."

Best Lawyers® compiles its listings at the conclusion of a months-long peer review process, during which its researchers ask leading attorneys from specific practice areas and geographic regions about the professional abilities of their colleagues.

In addition, the publication awarded two Jones Day lawyers 2024 "Lawyer of the Year (LOTY)" status. Best Lawyers® selects only one attorney in each practice category and designated geographic region as their "Lawyer of the Year," making this recognition especially noteworthy.
