What is Specialist Accreditation?
What is Specialist Accreditation?
The Queensland Law Society Specialist Accreditation program gives consumers the opportunity to engage a lawyer of proven expertise in specific areas of legal practice.
Roberts Nehmer McKee has QLS Accredited Specialists in a range of areas across the firm to maximise the expertise in the services we offer clients.
The QLS website states:
"The QLS specialist accreditation program was established in 1995 to provide guidance to members of the public who need legal services in certain areas, and encouragement to members of the profession who wish to specialise.
In addition to having extensive experience, accredited specialists are solicitors who have satisfactorily completed an advanced study program in a particular area of law. Although all solicitors may advertise their expertise and the areas in which they practise, only those solicitors accredited by QLS may claim or state in any advertising that they are accredited specialists.
Accredited specialists must apply for re-accreditation each year.
They must pay an annual re-accreditation fee, maintain a substantial involvement in the practice area and undertake in the
previous year additional hours of continuing legal education in the area of law in which they are accredited."
