What is an Accredited Specialist in Family Law?

An Accredited Specialist in Family Law in Australia is a legal professional who has met specific criteria set by the Law Council of Australia or relevant state law societies. This accreditation indicates that the lawyer has demonstrated a high level of expertise and experience in family law matters, including divorce, property settlements, child custody, and other related issues.

To become an accredited specialist, a lawyer typically needs to:

• Meet Experience Requirements: Must have a certain number of years of practice in family law.
• Pass an Examination: They may need to pass a rigorous examination that tests their knowledge and skills in family law.
• Demonstrate Ongoing Professional Development: Accredited specialists are often required to engage in continuing education to stay updated on legal developments in family law.
• Provide References: They may need to provide references from peers or clients to demonstrate their expertise and professionalism.

This accreditation helps clients identify lawyers who have a proven track record in family law and ensures they receive knowledgeable and competent legal representation.

Official Registers you can use to check if a lawyer is an Accredited Specialist in Family Law

Before any lawyer is listed on FamilyLaw.com.au as an Accredited Specialist in Family Law or any other type of specialist accreditation appears on their profile, we check the relevant Register to confirm their status. However, sometimes a lawyer may no longer be an accredited specialist (e.g. retired), and we may not be able to update their profile in time to reflect this, so it is always best to double-check or conduct your own due diligence and check at the relevant register.

Note, if you find a lawyer who is listed on FamilyLaw.com.au with an incorrect/inaccurate specialist accreditation then please contact us to have it corrected or removed.
