Gloucester lawyer achieves national accreditation
Family lawyer and partner of Gloucester law firm Treasures, Helen Meredith, has recently gained accredited specialist status with the leading national family law group Resolution.
Helen joined Treasures in January 2006, having taken a law degree at Cardiff University and subsequently trained at Cardiff Law School. She became a partner of the firm in 2008.
Helen has been an ordinary member of Resolution for some time and has now passed examinations which recognise her expertise in family law and bestow the specialist status accreditation.
Originally set up in 1999, the scheme is designed to help members of the public facing the prospect of family breakdown to make an informed choice when deciding which lawyer to appoint. To become a Resolution accredited specialist, lawyers have to agree to uphold the Resolution code of practice and to have passed a written examination demonstrating a breadth of knowledge of family law issues and specialist knowledge in at least two areas of family law.
Helen commented “As a Resolution member, I am committed to encouraging a non-confrontational approach to resolving family disputes, thereby minimising both the financial and emotional costs of divorce or family breakdown.”
Senior partner Mark Hammond added “As head of the Family department Helen is a valuable member of our team. This achievement of accredited specialist status is a demonstration of this firm’s resolve to offer our clients the highest possible level of service.”
