Specialist Accreditation is a structured peer to peer assessment process enabling legal practitioners to be recognised for their expertise. Each year the Law Society runs the accreditation program for a select number of areas of law. The program consists of meticulous assessments on both legal knowledge and its application in practice. For accreditation to be conferred the candidate must pass all assessments. Specialist Accreditation is held by less than 5% of the profession here in New South Wales. Specialist Accreditation is a rigorous process and getting accredited is just the start. When a specialist retains their accreditation year on year their clients know the value of the advice they receive

Since commencing work at Our Lawyers, Sara has focused on all aspects of Estate Planning and Succession Law, including complex wills, testamentary trusts, complex estate administration, contested probates and family provision matters.

Sara enjoys the conversational nature of estate planning and can relate well to clients to ensure that they understand what their estate plan means for them. Her attention to detail means that clients’ assets are well protected, and their testamentary wishes adequately covered.
