Reflecting on the year that’s been, I can’t help but smile; or perhaps sigh with relief; it’s been another big one!
Standing out loud is the recognition that two of our shining stars, Chanel and Vanessa have achieved their status as Accredited Specialists in Family law. This status recognises the elite family lawyers in Australia and is no easy feat. For us, this achieves our goal of being the leaders in our field and to ensure our clients have the highest quality experts guiding and supporting them. By the way, that makes us 3 specialists in one firm- the most in all of SA!
Tripling in size, our team has grown to include more family lawyers with the talented Sophie, Dani and Lucy as well as office management in the amazing Tracy, finance in Mikayla, marketing and admin magic in Abbie and client management and wellbeing in the good witch, Helen.
Beyond that, we have implemented new, innovative internal processes making our service more technology driven, modern and customer focused.
We have listened to our clients and have further developed our wellbeing program that lines up with the goals we have for our clients to have emotional support alongside the legal advice.
Working hard to keep our reputation as leaders in our field we have been recognised countless times in awards this year; national industry awards like Lawyers Weekly for Dispute Resolution Team of the Year and Boutique Law Firm of the Year, not to mention one of our team, Ashlee, named in top five, 30 under 30 lawyers in all of Australia. Locally, we have achieved status in the top 25 Fast Movers of SA for the second year in a row and of course recognised in Doyle’s guide as a leading specialist family law firm in SA for 6 years running. That recognition acknowledges our impact on the profession- keeping true to our goal to shine a spotlight on the role lawyers play in a divorce and the responsibility they have to act ethically in assisting couples to minimise conflict to achieve better outcomes for families in our community.
To top that off, we are developing a new home for Resolve, which should be ready next year, to further the journey for our clients to have a space that is uniquely ours and allows them the safety and comfort they want and need.
Oh and how can I forget to mention that we have had 2 Resolve babies join our family; with Violet and Bertie, from Chanel and Melanie, who we are excited about welcoming back to work next year !
Finally, we are preparing for and launching a whole new look and feel to our brand and building on our services to our clients in a big way.
After all of that, we are having a break now – I’m exhausted! Watch this space for 2022- even bigger things to come!
