We’re incredibly proud to share that our Principal Lawyer Ismail Rasheed has been named a FINALIST in two major law awards in Australia:
2025 Australian Law Awards – Australian Sole Practitioner of the Year
2025 Queensland Excellence in Law Awards – Queensland Solicitor of the Year (Sole Practitioner)
These back-to-back recognitions are a massive honour and a testament to the impact, integrity, and excellence Ismail brings to his clients every single day.
“Lawyers working in Australia’s sole practices often have a profound impact on the lives of their clients. This award recognises outstanding performance by an individual who has chosen to roll out their own practice.” – Australian Law Awards 2025
“Our awards shine a light on the exemplary efforts of Queensland’s legal professionals—highlighting good law, good lawyers, for the public good. They provide the opportunity for outstanding solicitors, teams and organisations to showcase their ingenuity and contribution to both the legal profession and the broader community”- QLS Excellence in Law Awards
That’s exactly what Ismail has done with IR Legal, building a firm from the ground up with a mission to serve, empower, and protect.
From helping everyday Australians navigate complex legal challenges, to standing up for justice, Ismail’s work is deeply personal, incredibly professional, and now officially recognised at both the state and national level. ⚖️
This is more than just a nomination, it’s a celebration of passion, persistence, and people-first practice. We’re honoured to have him lead our firm and proud to see his efforts recognised on these prestigious stages.
Let’s cheer him on as we head toward the awards nights!
