On 1 October 2026, Pearsons Lawyers Partner Leanne Abela was presented with the Distinguished Service Award by the Law Institute of Victoria.
The award is one of the Law Institute of Victoria’s most prestigious honours. It recognises individuals who have given significant and distinguished service to the legal profession over an extended period.
Leanne’s recognition reflects 40 years of dedication to the law. Throughout her career she has been committed to delivering excellent client service, has mentored many junior solicitors as they built their own careers, and has spent decades raising funds for a range of charities.
Everyone at Pearsons congratulates Leanne on this well-deserved honour.
