Websters Lawyers is proud of its South Australian roots and strong local focus, so it’s only natural that we support causes with similar values.
The Seven News Young Achiever Awards is such a cause. The Awards acknowledge, encourage and promote the achievements of young people in South Australia. It’s a fantastic platform to showcase the best local talent and achievements in a range of areas.
That’s why we were proud to sponsor the Seven News Young Achiever Awards .
Websters Lawyers Achievement in Law Award
In our modern society, the law and legal process directly reflect our community standards, and any young person moving into this profession is expected to uphold those principles. It has been said that, “The law is never static, [but] is always changing, being interpreted or redefined as regulators and judges strive, with varying degrees of success, to ensure that the law constantly reflects changes in society itself.” Many young lawyers recognize that they also have a role in this process, to strive for justice and equity both for those for whom they act and by extension to the broader community.
The Websters Lawyers Award for “Achievement in Law” seeks to identify those young lawyers and law students who have embraced the unique position they are in to not only help individuals with their legal issues, but also to further the public good. From acknowledging that everyone is equal and all deserve the same chance to get legal justice in a fair way, to championing a legal cause for the greater good of society, they use their talents and skills to contribute to the growth and development of our society.
As a local firm with strong community values, Websters Lawyers is proud to support the Young Achiever Awards and to recognise the accomplishments of our State’s young lawyers and law students and encourage their continued development.

Websters Lawyers have also previously sponsored the Service to the Community Award
People who contribute to community services and activities are the heartbeat of our society and without them many essential services would not exist. Not only do these people have the skills and commitment to get involved, but they are so often motivated by a desire to make a genuine difference to the lives of others. In young people in particular, we see community supporters who are passionate and energised by the essential work that they do.
Volunteering can take many forms, for example manual labour, fundraising activities, offering pro bono professional services, taking the time to visit someone or to chat to them on the phone, or anything in between. It is all valuable work. Fundamental to this is those individuals who identify a need within the community and who take positive action to address that need and motivate others to get involved.
The Award recognises young people who go the extra mile in their volunteering activities and who promote community spirit, who put the needs of others before their own, and who make important contributions to the communities in which they live.
