To assist the sport and sports law industry, in 2004 ANZSLA introduced an award to recognise ANZSLA members who have made a substantial lifetime achievement to the development, integrity and professionalism of the sport and sports law industry. ANZSLA does not intend to give this award every year, such is the distinguished nature it is intended to hold.
The deadline for 2024 nominations is Friday, 6 September 2024. A nomination form can be downloaded from this page.
