National acclaim for Bradford Lawyer

The skills of a West & North Yorkshire region lawyer have been recognised by the UK’s leading family law group – Resolution.

Emma Brocklebank, family lawyer at law firm Read Dunn Connell, has recently gained Resolution accredited specialist status.

Emma, who has been qualified for seven years, undertook her law degree and Legal Practice Course at the University of Northumbria. She joined Read Dunn Connell in December 2004.

Emma has passed her examinations in Private Children Law and in Domestic Abuse Law to gain her specialist status under the Resolution scheme. This means that there are now two Resolution accredited specialists in the Family Department at Read Dunn Connell. The Head of the Family Department, Judith Fitzpatrick, has previously achieved specialist status in Ancillary Relief and Private Children Law.

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.

Emma Brocklebank is one of a growing number of West & North Yorkshire region lawyers to achieve Resolution accreditation.

She 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.”

Resolution is an association of over 5700 members who are committed to promoting a non-confrontational atmosphere in which family law matters are dealt with in a sensitive, constructive and cost-effective way. It sets high standards of good practice in family law and runs an accreditation scheme for specialist family lawyers.
