Peter Chodat has once again been recognised as one of Australia’s leading family lawyers, earning inclusion in the Best Lawyers in Australia list for Family Law. This marks the sixth consecutive year Peter Chodat has been named on the prestigious list, having been recognised annually since 2020.

Best Lawyers is regarded as one of the legal profession’s most respected and credible ranking organisations. The publication’s listings are determined solely through peer review, with lawyers assessed by fellow practitioners for their professional expertise, ethics, and reputation within their area of practice. Consistent inclusion over multiple years reflects sustained excellence and standing within the legal profession.

Peter Chodat’s continued recognition highlights his reputation as a trusted and highly regarded family law practitioner, particularly in complex and sensitive matters. His approach is known for combining strategic insight with measured, compassionate advocacy, qualities that have earned enduring respect from clients and peers alike.

Managing Partner Paul Magagnino said the recognition was well deserved and reflective of Mr Chodat’s longstanding contribution to the firm and the profession.

“Peter’s inclusion on the Best Lawyers list year after year is a strong endorsement of his legal expertise, professionalism, and commitment to his clients,” Mr Magagnino said. “This level of

sustained peer recognition speaks volumes. Peter is highly respected not only within our firm, but across the broader legal community.”

Commenting on the acknowledgement, Mr Chodat said the recognition was particularly meaningful because it comes from within the profession.

“Being recognised by your peers is always an honour,” Mr Chodat said. “Family law is an evolving and challenging area, and this acknowledgement reflects the standard of work we strive to deliver consistently. It is also a credit to the team and the values that guide our practice.”

The Best Lawyers in Australia list is published annually and recognises lawyers who have demonstrated outstanding professional performance in their respective fields.
