21 of Parnell’s Barristers’ recognised as Victorian leaders in 2022 Doyle’s Guide

Parnell’s Barristers are thrilled to congratulate no less than 21 of our barristers on their rankings in the 2022 Doyles Guide list of leading Criminal Law counsel in the state of Victoria.

Nearly one quarter of our entire list were recognised as part of these rankings, highlighting the fast growing reputation of our team as a commanding presence in criminal law – both within Victoria and throughout Australia.

Doyles Guide are a highly regarded legal market research organisation who provide independent rankings of Australia’s best lawyers and barristers.

Their criminal law ranking lists are peer-reviewed, compiled through feedback from partner-level solicitors and barristers who specialise in the practice area. They celebrate those who consistently draw the praise of clients and peers for their expertise and contribution to the profession.

Senior Barristers’ Clerk Matt Parnell said: “We are incredibly proud to see such a large number of our counsel recognised as leaders in the field of criminal law. Parnell’s continues to attract some of the best talent at the Victorian bar – and we are excited to keep moving from strength to strength into the future.”
