We are proud to share some incredible news from Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year Awards 2025 – our Principal Solicitor, Shawn Mendis, has been named a finalist in not just one, but two prestigious national categories.
Wills and Estates Partner of the Year
New Partner of the Year (SME Law)
This is a significant milestone for both Shawn and the entire Shawn Mendis Lawyers team. To be recognised on a national stage, in front of Australia’s top legal minds, is an honour in itself — but what makes this moment even more special is the journey that brought us here.
Shawn’s nomination in the Wills and Estates Partner of the Year category marks his third consecutive year being recognised for his commitment and excellence in this highly personal and important area of law. His consistency over the years highlights not just expertise, but a deep trust built with clients and families during life’s most delicate transitions.
The New Partner of the Year (SME Law) finalist recognition celebrates outstanding legal professionals with less than three years’ experience as a Partner. This category acknowledges bold leadership, entrepreneurial vision, and meaningful impact – all qualities that define Shawn’s approach and the foundation of this firm.
What makes these accolades truly remarkable is that they come during our first year of operation as a boutique law firm right here in Pakenham. In just over 12 months, we’ve grown from a vision into a recognised name in the legal community – and this moment proves what’s possible with passion, persistence, and purpose.
We are incredibly proud to serve our clients with heart and clarity, and we’re even more excited for what’s ahead.
To everyone who has supported us on this journey – thank you. This is not just a win for Shawn, but for our entire team, our clients, and our local community.
We look forward to continuing our mission of providing high-quality, client-focused legal services across Wills and Estates, Property, and Family Law.
