Neilson + Co Legal Named a Finalist in the 2026 Business Hunter Awards
We have some exciting news to share.
Neilson + Co Legal was named a finalist in the Excellence in Small Business category at the 2026 Business Hunter Awards.
And for our team, this one meant a lot.
Recognising small businesses across the Hunter
The Business Hunter Awards celebrate businesses and individuals making an impact across our region.
The Excellence in Small Business category recognises businesses with 6–20 employees that have driven growth and demonstrated strategies contributing to business success and resilience.
To be recognised amongst businesses doing exceptional work throughout the Hunter was something our entire team was incredibly proud of.
We're a local law firm – and we want to stay that way
Neilson + Co Legal has grown, but one thing we don't want to lose as we grow is the reason our clients choose a local firm in the first place.
We want you to know who you're dealing with.
We want our advice to make sense.
We want to answer the phone.
We want to understand the communities where our clients live, work, buy property, raise families and run businesses.
And we want our clients to feel comfortable asking us questions – even when they're worried the question might be silly.
(It usually isn't.)
This recognition belongs to our team
A law firm isn't its logo. It isn't its office. And it certainly isn't its awards.
It's its people.
Our team turns up every day to help clients through property purchases, sales, family changes, estate planning and some of the most difficult periods in their lives.
Being recognised as a finalist was a lovely opportunity to stop and acknowledge what we've built together.
Thank you
To our clients, referrers, local businesses and community:
thank you.
Thank you for trusting us with the big things.
Your homes.
Your families.
Your businesses.
Your estates.
And your recommendations to friends and family.
We're incredibly proud to be a Hunter Valley law firm – and even more excited about what comes next.
