Samira Friis Achieves Accredited Specialist Status in Family Law with the Law Society of New South Wales

Samira Friis - Family Law Accredited Specialist 2025 - Sydney Family Lawyer

Ramsden Family Law is proud to announce that Senior Associate Samira Friis has officially achieved Accredited Specialist status in Family Law through the Law Society of NSW.

Specialist Accreditation is a rigorous peer-review process that recognises legal practitioners for their expertise and excellence in their chosen field. Each year, the Law Society offers the program for select areas of law, with comprehensive assessments of both legal knowledge and practical application. To be accredited, candidates must successfully pass all assessments. 

What the Accredited Specialist Qualification Means

To retain accreditation, specialists must demonstrate their commitment to their accreditation through their work and by undertaking additional professional development in their area of accreditation.

Specialist Accreditation Chair, Jacqueline Dawson, said:

“Specialist Accreditation is held by less than 5% of the profession here in New South Wales. Specialist Accreditation is a rigorous process, and getting accredited is just the start. When a specialist retains their accreditation year on year, their clients know the value of the advice they receive.”

How an Accredited Family Law Specialist Differs from Other Family Lawyers

To become an Accredited Specialist in Family Law, a lawyer must have practiced law full-time for at least five years and exclusively in the area of family law. They are also required to continually maintain and enhance their knowledge and skills to uphold the high professional standards set by the accreditation process.

An Accredited Specialist has advanced expertise across all aspects of family law, including:

  • Property settlements
  • Parenting arrangements
  • Mediation and dispute resolution
  • Domestic and family violence matters
  • Representation in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia

Choosing an Accredited Family Law Specialist ensures that clients benefit from advanced legal knowledge, strategic insight, and proven experience in complex Family Law matters. This level of expertise can provide clarity, confidence, and strong direction during emotionally challenging situations.
