FAMILY LAW ACCREDITED SPECIALIST
Family law can be intricate and demanding; not all family lawyers possess the same expertise.
YOUR LEADING EXPERTS IN ALL FAMILY LAW MATTERS
When you need assistance with your family law matter, it’s crucial to speak to a family law specialist who can optimise your chances for a favourable outcome.
It is important to note that as of 2023, less than 5% of the legal professionals in Australia have been recognised as Accredited Specialists in a particular field of law.
At Ramsden Family Law, we have an extensive team of accredited family law specialists who have the qualifications and experience to help you with your specific matter.
Let’s help you with your case.
WHAT IS AN ACCREDITED SPECIALIST IN FAMILY LAW?
A family law accredited specialist is a family lawyer who has undergone an extensive, peer-reviewed program to help them further advance their expertise in their chosen area of law.
In addition to family law, accredited specialists can specialise in different legal practices, such as:
Business law | Commercial Litigation | Criminal law | Immigration law | Dispute Resolution | Personal injuries | Property law | Succession law | Taxation law
To attain Specialist Accreditation in Family Law, a solicitor must fulfil specific criteria, which include:
- A minimum of five years of full-time legal practice.
- A focus on family law for at least three years.
- Eligibility for the Specialist Accreditation Program offered by the New South Wales Law Society. This program encompasses ten specialised areas, one of which is Family Law.
The Specialist Accreditation Program is an intensive program to evaluate solicitors’ skills and comprehension of intricate family law matters. Only after successfully completing this rigorous assessment process can a family law solicitor be recognised as an Accredited Specialist in Family Law.
Important to Note: Specialist accreditation is an individual distinction; it is not granted to a law firm, even if it exclusively practices in one area of the law. As the standard is very high, pass rate is exceptionally small.
To maintain Specialist Accreditation, these lawyers are required to do double the amount of Continuing Professional Development than other practising lawyers.
WHY SHOULD YOU BE REPRESENTED BY ACCREDITED SPECIALISTS?
Unmatched Expertise in Complex Family Law Cases.
Accredited specialists undergo rigorous assessments and higher level of ongoing education to stay ahead of the latest family law developments. This makes them exceptionally qualified to handle high-stakes cases, including complex property settlements, contested parenting disputes, and high-net-worth asset divisions.
STRATEGIC APPROACH TO DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Our accredited specialists don’t just offer legal advice, they develop strategic, outcome-focused solutions tailored to your specific situation. Whether through mediation, negotiation, or court representation, we prioritise approaches that minimise conflict, protect your interests, and secure long-term stability.
RECOGNISED BY THE LAW SOCIETY FOR EXCELLENCE
Accreditation is more than just a title and logo, it’s a recognition of a lawyer’s superior knowledge, experience, and commitment to family law. With a very small number of Australian lawyers holding this distinction, our team at Ramsden Family Law stands among the most trusted and accomplished in the field.
STRONG ADVOCACY IN COURT AND NEGOTIATIONS
When court proceedings become unavoidable, having an Accredited Specialist in Family Law by your side ensures that your case is presented with precision and compelling legal arguments. Our team is highly experienced in courtroom advocacy, ensuring you have a formidable legal representative fighting for your best interests.
PERSONALISED GUIDANCE WITH A CLIENT-CENTRIC APPROACH
Family law matters are deeply personal, and we understand the emotional toll they take. Our accredited specialists provide clear, empathetic guidance every step of the way, ensuring you feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your matter.
WHEN IS IT BEST TO SEEK EXPERTISE FROM A FAMILY LAW SPECIALIST?
While there may not be specific family law matters that mandate the involvement of an Accredited Specialist, certain cases can significantly benefit from their specialised knowledge.
These cases may include:
- Complex property settlements involving multiple real properties, trusts and companies.
- Parenting matters are characterised by complexities such as domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health concerns and child protection issues.
- Spousal maintenance applications.
- International relocation of children.
