• The Specialist Accreditation Scheme was
  instigated by the NSW Law Society as a way to
  assist potential claimants, and other legal
  practitioners, to find a practitioner with proven
  capability in specialist areas of law, personal
  injury being one of these. To be a Personal
  Injury Accredited Specialist, a solicitor must
  have at least five years full time practice, at
  least three years specialty work, and have passed
  rigorous exams in the relevant law. The Scheme
  has been instrumental in assisting claimants in
  identifying a solicitor who can genuinely be
  considered a respected and well-regarded
  specialist in personal injury.
