Coleman Greig is thrilled to announce that Senior Associate Madison Kelly has been recognised as an Accredited Specialist in Family Law.
To achieve Specialist Accreditation, a rigorous assessment process must be undertaken. Individuals must draw on existing skills and knowledge to demonstrate competency and skills. Madison successfully achieved this whilst maintaining her commitment to clients.

Madison has spent her entire legal career working at Coleman Greig in our family law team and in that time she has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of the family law process. The fact that Madison is now recognised as an Accredited Specialist in family law is testament to her desire to be one of the best young lawyers working in family law. Madison should be proud of this recognition and her many achievements in her career to date."
