Kells named among Australia’s Best Law Firms for second consecutive year

Kells Lawyers is proud to announce its recognition in the 2026 edition of Best Law Firms in Australia, a prestigious national ranking that highlights the country’s top legal practices.

In the latest edition, Kells Lawyers has been ranked Tier 2 nationally for Family Law and Tier 3 for Personal Injury Law, with both accolades awarded for the Sydney region.

The Best Law Firms recognition is the result of a rigorous evaluation process within the legal industry. It draws on insights from more than 4,500 surveyed lawyers, over 2,000 client references, nearly 200 interviews with practice group and firm leaders, and detailed law firm data collected through the Best Lawyers "Law Firm Survey." Importantly, eligibility is limited to firms with at least one lawyer already recognised in The Best Lawyers in Australia, reinforcing the high standard of individual and collective excellence required for consideration.

This recognition reflects Kells’ ongoing commitment to professional excellence, legal expertise, and exceptional client service. “We are honoured to be included again in the Best Law Firms rankings,” said Paul Magagnino, Managing Partner. “These distinctions are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our firm, particularly in the areas of family and personal injury law, two areas where the needs of our clients are especially personal and profound.”

“At Kells, we are committed to delivering not just legal outcomes but meaningful support and guidance to our clients through every stage of their journey.” said Paul Magagnino.

The recognition underscores Kells Lawyers’ strong reputation in the legal community and its continued focus on delivering outcomes that matter to clients across the Illawarra and Sydney regions

Kells has grown to become a leading full-service law firm in Sydney and the Illawarra region, working alongside our clients and evolving our services to meet our clients’ changing needs. We have a team of passionate, energetic, and client-focused legal professionals with over 70 staff based across 6 offices in Sydney and throughout the Illawarra.
