Victoria Poole Reaccredited as Specialist in DV & Children Law

We are proud to congratulate Victoria Poole on her successful reaccreditation as a Resolution Accredited Specialist in Domestic Violence and Children Law (Private) - a significant professional achievement that reflects both her exceptional expertise and her unwavering commitment to supporting families during some of the most challenging periods of their lives.

Resolution’s specialist accreditation is widely recognised as a mark of excellence in family law practice, respected not only by the public but also by fellow professionals, members of the judiciary, and the Legal Aid Agency. Victoria’s reaccreditation reinforces her position as a trusted and highly skilled practitioner in her field, setting her apart through the consistently high standards she delivers.

A Rigorous and Respected Accreditation Process

Achieving reaccreditation is no small feat. Resolution’s specialist accreditation involves a demanding two-part assessment process, carefully evaluated by experienced Resolution experts.

To secure this recognition, Victoria was required to demonstrate her continued ability to meet the organisation’s stringent competencies while fully embedding Resolution’s Code of Practice, which promotes a constructive, non-confrontational approach to family law matters.

The process includes:

  • A core assignment, completed over a dedicated weekend, designed to rigorously assess the applicant’s practical knowledge and ability to apply legal principles in real-life scenarios.
  • A comprehensive portfolio of evidence, showcasing expertise across two specialist areas—in Victoria’s case, domestic violence and private children law.

This thorough assessment ensures that accredited specialists not only possess technical excellence but also uphold the highest standards of client care and professionalism.

Commitment to the Resolution Code of Practice

Victoria’s reaccreditation highlights her ongoing dedication to the Resolution Code of Practice, which places a strong emphasis on:

  • Reducing conflict and confrontation
  • Supporting families with sensitivity and respect
  • Encouraging practical and fair solutions
  • Prioritising the wellbeing of children

Her approach reflects a deep understanding that family law is not just about legal outcomes, but about guiding individuals and families through emotionally complex situations with care, clarity, and integrity.

Delivering Excellence for Families

Victoria’s specialist status in domestic violence and private children law is particularly significant. These areas require not only legal expertise but also compassion, resilience, and a client-focused mindset. Her ability to navigate sensitive cases with professionalism and empathy ensures that clients feel supported, heard, and empowered throughout the legal process.

Her reaccreditation is a testament to the high standards she consistently achieves, reinforcing her reputation for delivering outstanding legal services and achieving the best possible outcomes for the families she represents.

A Proud Moment for the Firm

We are delighted to celebrate Victoria’s individual success, which also reflects the wider commitment of SH&Co to excellence in legal practice. Her achievement aligns with the firm’s core ethos: a belief that everyone has the right to access justice, supported by expert legal advice delivered with integrity and care.

Victoria’s dedication embodies our firm-wide commitment to providing the highest quality service to every client, ensuring that they receive not only expert guidance but also genuine support when they need it most.

Looking Ahead

As Victoria continues to build on this achievement, her reaccreditation strengthens our family law offering and reinforces our position as a firm committed to excellence, professionalism, and client care.

We extend our warmest congratulations to Victoria on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to seeing her continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the families she supports.
