Ramsden Family Law Special Counsel Aneta Dimoska Di Marco has been recognised by the Law Society of NSW as an Accredited Specialist in Family Law. Her accreditation brings the firm’s team of Family Law Accredited Specialists to 9, a rare depth of expertise for a boutique family law practice.
Fewer than 4% of solicitors in New South Wales hold Specialist Accreditation in any area of law.
“Aneta becoming our 9th Accredited Specialist in Family Law is a fantastic achievement and a real reflection of the depth of expertise across our team. Having 9 Accredited Specialists in Family Law puts us among the most specialised family law teams in the country, and we’re incredibly proud of the knowledge, commitment and high standards our people bring to supporting our clients.”
Said by Reece Ramsden, Partner at Ramsden Family Law
Nine Specialists Across Three States
Aneta joins a team of Accredited Specialists recognised by three state law societies:
- 7 accredited by the Law Society of NSW
- 1 accredited by the Queensland Law Society
- 1 accredited by the Law Institute of Victoria
Specialist Accreditation Chair, Jacqueline Dawson, said:
“Specialist Accreditation is held by less than 4% 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.”
What Does “Accredited Specialist” Mean?
An Accredited Specialist is a solicitor whose expertise in one area of law has been independently tested and formally recognised by their state law society. In NSW, the Law Society’s Specialist Accreditation Scheme exists so that people looking for legal help can identify lawyers with proven skill in the area they need.
Getting accredited is hard. Applicants need at least five years of full-time practice, including at least three years in their chosen area. They then sit a series of peer-reviewed assessments that test their legal knowledge alongside practical skills like problem solving, communication and client care. Candidates must pass every assessment, and the program only runs for a handful of practice areas each year.
Staying accredited takes ongoing work. Specialists renew their accreditation annually and must complete additional professional development in their specialist field, so their knowledge keeps pace with changes in the law.
For clients, it means confidence. Separation can affect your children, your home and your financial future. Working with an Accredited Specialist means your lawyer’s skills have been checked by their peers and are reassessed every year.
About Aneta Dimoska Di Marco
Aneta brings an unusual combination to family law: a PhD in psychology and more than a decade of legal practice.
Before law, Aneta was a research psychologist. She received a stipend in 2002 to study the brain activity behind impulse control, was awarded her PhD in 2005, and has since published more than 25 peer-reviewed papers, cited in over 2,600 other works. That evidence-based thinking now shapes how she approaches every client’s matter.
Admitted in 2013, Aneta has worked predominantly in family law and holds a Master of Laws (Applied Law). Her experience includes:
- Parenting matters involving very young children, interstate relocation and allegations of abuse
- Property settlements involving overseas assets, hidden assets and family business structures
- Representing clients facing cultural, language and mental health challenges
Her understanding of the psychological side of separation helps her give clients clear, strategic advice with empathy, so they can make confident decisions at a difficult time.
