Alana Kushnir wins Thought Leader Of The Year award At The Women In Law Awards

Guest Work Agency (GWA) Director and Founder Alana Kushnir has been named the ‘Thought Leader of the Year’ in the Lawyers Weekly Women in Law Awards 2024.

THOUGHT LEADER OF THE YEAR

The ‘Thought Leader of the Year’ category recognises a female lawyer in the Australian legal profession who has shown a long-term passion and aptitude for improving the industry.

In Alana’s submission, she focused on advocating for lawyers “to choose their own path, to work in a speciality that they are passionate about, even if it means starting your own practice from scratch.”  

At Guest Work Agency, we’re proud to be an art law practice that blends a passion for cutting-edge art practices and advanced technology. Founded 10 years ago by Alana, GWA continues to play a crucial role in advising Australian and international art industry participants on cutting-edge legal issues, while also educating on the importance of the law as a commercial - rather than just defensive – tool.

Alana commented on being named as a winner of the Thought Leader of the Year 2024: “I am deeply honoured to receive this recognition, especially given the high calibre of the finalists in this category, many of whom are role models for me.”
