The additional 53 accredited specialists have grown the total number within Victoria to 1,144 and now covers 16 areas of law. Each of the new specialists took place in the nationally recognised certification to indicate their standing as an expert in their respective fields through the rigorous assessments process.

Commenting on this achievement, Law Institute of Victoria (LIV) president Ms Wolff said it was an acknowledgment of their “superior knowledge, skills and passion”.

“I commend you for your extraordinary effort over the course of this particularly difficult and challenging COVID-19 year,” Ms Wolff said.

The successful candidates spent in excess of 100 hours preparing and undertaking assessments to attain the specialisation. Of the new cohort, LIV said that the majority were female, representing a 56 per cent increase from previous years.

Additionally, 68 per cent of the specialists practise outside of Melbourne CBD, which is also a notable increase from 49 per cent in previous years.

Ms Wolff also thanked members of the specialisation board and advisory committee for volunteering their time during the process: “A lot of time and effort also goes in to developing and marking these assessments, and I thank the committee and the board who gave their time to make this program happen.”
