Alana Kushnir Named Sole Practitioner of the Year at the Lawyers Weekly Women in Law Awards 2022
Guest Work Agency (GWA) Director and Founder Alana Kushnir has been named the ‘Sole Practitioner of the Year’ in the Lawyers Weekly Women in Law Awards 2022 produced in conjunction with principal partner Leo Cussen Centre for Law.
SOLE PRACTITIONER OF THE YEAR
The ‘Sole Practitioner of the Year’ category recognises outstanding performance by a female sole practitioner with up to three support staff or lawyer contractors operating in Australia over FY21-22.
GWA’s submission for this category highlighted some of the high profile creative projects delivered for our clients in the past year, from public artwork commissions to brand collaborations and advising new NFT (non-fungible token) platforms. We also profiled Alana Kushnir’s continuing role of educating art industry participants on the importance of the law as a commercial - rather than just defensive - tool.
Alana commented on being named as a winner of the Sole Practitioner of the Year 2022: “Guest Work Agency is the first dedicated art law and advisory practice in Australia, so it’s a huge honour to receive this recognition from my legal industry peers.”
