The Law Society of Scotland's Specialist Accreditation Scheme
The launch of a new specialism in Private Client Tax Law brings the total number of areas in which accreditation as a specialist is available to the profession to 24.
The Society operates a well-developed and mature Accreditation Scheme established in 1990. The exceptional quality and skill of Accredited Specialists under the scheme is recognised throughout Scotland. There are barely 400 Accredited Specialists out of over 10,000 Solicitors in Scotland.
Solicitors clearly see accreditation as a way of developing their skills and career. The qualification reassures the Public that they are getting access to specialist advice of the highest calibre which is particularly important in more complex cases.
The Society continues to develop and extend the scheme.
