Another accreditation for Aldridge Brownlee

Article date: 25.07.11

Lynne Barton, family law partner at law firm Aldridge Brownlee, has recently gained Resolution accredited specialist status.

Lynne, who has been qualified for almost 29 years, undertook her law degree at Southampton University and her Legal Practice Course at Guildford Law College.  She has worked with her present firm for over 21 years.  

Lynne has passed her examinations in  Pensions and Advanced Financial Provision II to gain her specialist status under the Resolution scheme.

Originally set up in 1999, the scheme is designed to help people who are facing 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 test demonstrating a breadth of knowledge of family law issues and specialist knowledge in at least two areas of family law.

Lynne comments: “As a Resolution member, I am committed to encouraging a non-confrontational approach to resolving family disputes.  That way, both the emotional and financial costs of divorce or family breakdown are minimised for those involved”.

“Now, by choosing a Resolution specialist, individuals can be assured that they are being advised by someone who has a wide knowledge and experience of family law, and has the qualifications to demonstrate it.”
