Voluntary scheme started to accredit specialist lawyers
Singapore
TO help the public identify lawyers who have expertise in certain practice areas, the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) has rolled out a voluntary accreditation scheme so practitioners can apply to have their skills recognised.
For a start, lawyers specialising in building and construction law can apply under the Specialist Accreditation Scheme. The first batch of accredited specialists in this field will be announced in January 2018.
