Spruson & Ferguson Lawyers has once again been recognised in the Best Lawyers in Australia 2025, with four of our outstanding lawyers receiving the accolade.

Congratulations to our team members:

  • Katrina Crooks, Principal and Head of our law team. Katrina has been recognised since 2023
  • Sylvie Tso, Principal, who has been recognised since 2021
  • Andrew Rankine, Principal, who has been recognised since 2019, and
  • Duncan Longstaff, Principal, who is recognised for the first time.

We applaud our team for their continuous commitment to both their profession and our clients. It is an outstanding acknowledgement of their dedication and expertise. Congratulations to all of the team!

This recognition is made valuable by the rigorous process that the Best Lawyers Awards follow. It is the oldest and most respected peer review publication in the legal profession, where lists of outstanding lawyers are compiled by conducting exhaustive peer review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers.
