Dubbo lawyer finalist for under-30s award

DUBBO associate lawyer Natalie Butcher has been recognised for her long history in helping those who have sustained workplace, motor vehicle or public property injuries as part of the “Lawyers Weekly 30 Under 30 Awards 2022”.

Ms Butcher, who also helps those who have been physically, sexually and emotionally abused in institutions such as churches, foster case, schools or prisons, operates a Campbelltown-based office for Melinda Griffiths Lawyers.

As part of her service, she provides a visiting legal service to regional NSW areas including Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst, Wagga Wagga and Armidale.

Being able to help rural areas, in particular visiting her home town, and providing legal services is important to Ms Butcher.

The “Lawyers Weekly 30 Under 30 Awards” is the premier event in showcasing the depth of talent in the nation’s young gun lawyers, ‘recognising their success and their passion for the business of law’.

Ms Butcher said she was ‘humbled’ to be recognised and ‘proud’ to be named as a finalist.

The finalist list, which includes Ms Butcher (pictured), was released on April 20.

Over 270 high-achieving professionals are featured on the list, across 31 submission-based categories.

Lawyers Weekly editor Jermone Doraisamy said there was “no bigger or better celebration of the myriad achievements of Australia’s emerging generation of leaders in law”.

“The 30 Under 30 Awards allows us to acknowledge and recognise those upand-comers who are doing extraordinary things against the backdrop of turbulent and uncertain times,” Mr Doraisamy said.

“The winners and finalists at this event will, in almost all cases, be the lawyers who will help shape the direction of Australia’s legal profession for years to come.”
