Celebrating Excellence: Beatrice Patterson Wins Lawyers Weekly Family Law 30 Under 30 Award
We are incredibly proud to share that Beatrice Patterson, Senior Solicitor at Kenny Spring Solicitors, has been named a 2026 Lawyers Weekly 30 Under 30 Award winner for Family Law.
The awards were held at a black-tie gala at The Star in Sydney, bringing together some of Australia's most promising young lawyers. With 288 finalists across 30 categories, being chosen as one of just 30 national winners is an outstanding achievement, and a well-deserved recognition of Beatrice's talent, dedication, and hard work.
Over the past year, Beatrice has reached some major professional milestones, including completing her Master of Applied Law (Family Law) and gaining Accredited Specialist status. These achievements reflect her commitment to building her expertise and continuing to deliver exceptional support to families across regional NSW.
Beatrice's contribution also goes far beyond her day-to-day practice. She is actively involved in several professional and community organisations, helping strengthen legal education, support vulnerable clients, and build positive networks for women in the profession. From community partnerships to mentoring emerging lawyers and volunteering at local events, Beatrice is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in regional NSW.
Winning the 30 Under 30 Award is a wonderful acknowledgement of the impact she has already made and the bright future ahead of her.
In Beatrice's own words:
"Winning this award is an honour and recognises my dedication to family law, supporting rural families, and mentoring young lawyers in regional NSW."
We could not be prouder of Beatrice. Congratulations on this incredible achievement!
