Mr Powell is a highly regarded lawyer with significant experience in all areas of compensation law, including workers’ compensation, motor vehicle accidents and public liability claims. He said, “I’m so pleased to join the ranks of accredited specialists, not only in our firm but in the broader profession. As Sunshine Coast Leader and Partner, being an accredited specialist is really valuable to me as it allows me to mentor, guide and support our team to deliver on our promise of expertise every day.”
This level of accreditation is a significant achievement and showcases TSP’s dedication to expertise. The firm now boasts a total of seven Accredited Specialist lawyers, which is the highest among independent firms in Queensland. Mr Powell joins the ranks of TSP senior team members Travis Schultz, Trent Johnson, Greg Spinda, Beth Rolton, Nickelle Morris and Michael Callow, who are each recognised for their high level of competency and knowledge by the QLS. Recognised as Personal Injury Accredited Specialists, these members are true leaders in the legal profession and set the benchmark for exceptional practice and expertise.
Managing Partner, Travis Schultz, said, “I’m proud to see Hugh Powell successfully pass the program and become an Accredited Specialist. It’s not an easy one to come by, and it is well deserved. His perseverance, compassion, dedication, and commitment to personal injury law are second to none.”
Mr Schultz added, “When we started out as a boutique firm focused on expertise and fairness, I never thought we’d be in the position to say that no firm in Queensland has more QLS Personal Injury Accredited Specialist Lawyers than us. It’s humbling to see how our foundation of expertise has resonated within our community and been rigorously adopted by our team, who, like Hugh, strive to be the best lawyers they can be every day.”
