Holding Redlich is proud to announce that ACT Managing Partner Elizabeth Carroll has been named Government Partner of the Year at the 2026 Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year Awards, recognising her expertise, outstanding leadership and commitment to delivering strong outcomes for government clients.
With more than 25 years’ experience in public and administrative law, Elizabeth brings a deep understanding of government, having previously led legal teams at three Commonwealth agencies. Since joining Holding Redlich in 2021, she has built a strong reputation across public law, procurement, probity, privacy and governance, and has established and grown the firm’s Canberra office to around 30 staff, including four partners.
Under her leadership, the firm was re-appointed to the Whole of Australian Government Legal Services Panel across five areas of law, including workplace, industrial relations and compensation, corporate and commercial (general and specialist), public law, and property and environment. As joint lead of the firm's Commonwealth Government practice, Elizabeth has also helped strengthen relationships with Commonwealth departments and agencies as part of broader team efforts that have seen the value of Holding Redlich’s Australian Government work triple in a year.
In its 11th year, the Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year Awards recognise top-performing law firm partners across Australia, with nominees assessed against a combination of qualitative and quantitative criteria, including growth, business development, diversity, leadership, innovation, business excellence and contribution to the Australian legal sector.
Congratulations to Elizabeth!
