What is accreditation?
The Law Society of NSW operates the Specialist Accreditation Scheme to help the general public identify solicitors who have demonstrated proficiency in a particular area of law.
Solicitors who fulfil the requirements of the Scheme are entitled to use, after their name, the words ‘Accredited Specialist’ in the nominated area of practice.
Only individual solicitors can be Accredited Specialists, not firms.
Why become an Accredited Specialist?
Gaining accreditation is a significant achievement which offers practitioners a recognised means of differentiation and demonstrated expertise.
In an increasingly complex and competitive market, the expertise and professionalism which forms the cornerstone of Specialist Accreditation remains an easily identifiable choice for consumers of legal services.
Accreditation provides practitioners with the opportunity to:
- Promote and highlight expert legal knowledge, skills and services for the public and the profession
- Build new and strengthen existing relationships with peers
- Support and continued learning and development with access to CPD for Accredited Specialists
- Maintain standards and contribute to the future of the profession by joining a Specialist Accreditation advisory committee.
