President’s Message<br />
The IAML is pleased to present this <strong>2011</strong> edition <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Certified</strong> <strong>List</strong> <strong>of</strong> Fellows <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Academy</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Academy</strong> this year celebrates its Silver Jubilee, which is an important milestone in the<br />
<strong>Academy</strong>’s growth. Membership in all categories now stands in excess <strong>of</strong> 580 with Fellows<br />
representing 43 jurisdictions.<br />
The recruitment <strong>of</strong> new Fellows from unrepresented or under-represented jurisdictions remains a<br />
challenge which is being addressed by the <strong>Academy</strong>’s Expansion Programme and that <strong>of</strong> the<br />
European Chapter. As ever, recommendations from Fellows who have had positive experience<br />
with practitioners in such jurisdictions who might be suitable for Fellowship are encouraged.<br />
It is hoped that the <strong>Certified</strong> <strong>List</strong> – both in hard copy format and online version – will continue to<br />
provide an invaluable resource to Fellows both as an avenue <strong>of</strong> access to a wide network <strong>of</strong><br />
expertise and as a source <strong>of</strong> referrals from other practitioners both within and without the <strong>Academy</strong>.<br />
The value <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Certified</strong> <strong>List</strong> is heavily dependant upon the accuracy <strong>of</strong> information provided by<br />
Fellows and I am grateful to those Fellows who have ensured that the recorded information is as<br />
current as possible. The Executive Director, Donna Goddard (donna.goddard@iaml.org) is able to<br />
provide any necessary assistance in updating entries.<br />
Of particular importance is the list <strong>of</strong> specialisations recorded in the online version <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Certified</strong><br />
<strong>List</strong>. Fellows are invited to ensure that their specialisms are correctly recorded.<br />
It should also be remembered that the Members Only section <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Academy</strong> website contains a<br />
very useful referral list <strong>of</strong> family lawyers in some <strong>of</strong> those jurisdictions not currently represented by<br />
an <strong>Academy</strong> Fellow.<br />
I wish all Fellows <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Academy</strong> a successful year in their international practices. I hope that the<br />
<strong>Certified</strong> <strong>List</strong> will continue to be <strong>of</strong> considerable assistance and, on behalf <strong>of</strong> the Executive<br />
Committee, express our gratitude to Donna Goddard for her work in producing it and to Jordan<br />
Publishing Limited who have once again generously sponsored its printing and distribution.<br />

The Members Only area <strong>of</strong> the website is accessible using your unique username and password.<br />
Your username is initially set to your e-mail address (as listed in your member pr<strong>of</strong>ile on the<br />
website and in the certified list). If you don’t know or have forgotten your password and/or your<br />
username then please use the “Forgotten Password” facility (under “Member Login” in the lefthand<br />
column <strong>of</strong> the screen) and enter your e-mail address (as listed in your member pr<strong>of</strong>ile on the<br />
website) the system will automatically e-mail a new password and a reminder <strong>of</strong> your username to<br />
you. Once you have logged in, you can download the IAML Website User Guide (which is<br />
included in the “Publications” section <strong>of</strong> the “Member Options” menu in the left-hand column <strong>of</strong><br />
the screen) which will help you to use the site. If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to<br />
contact Donna Goddard (donna.goddard@iaml.org) and she will be happy to help you.<br />
Fellows should be aware that the <strong>Academy</strong>’s preferred method <strong>of</strong> communication is e-mail. It is<br />
therefore extremely important that your e-mail address listed in the certified list and on the website<br />
is up-to-date and reliable. If you do not have an e-mail address listed or if the address listed is no<br />
longer valid then you may miss out on valuable mailings from the <strong>Academy</strong>, for example,<br />
information about forthcoming meetings and the IAML Online News. Please let Donna know if<br />
your e-mail address is out <strong>of</strong> date and she will happily update your pr<strong>of</strong>ile and, as a result, the<br />
<strong>Academy</strong>’s mailing lists.<br />
If, at any time, now or in the future, you have any questions about or suggestions for improvements<br />
to the website, then please contact Donna. We are very keen to continue to improve our website<br />
and to encourage wider use and your feedback can help us to do this.<br />

select reference source <strong>of</strong> those lawyers who have achieved the highest standards in this vital<br />

except that, in the case <strong>of</strong> the U.S.A., it is first broken down alphabetically by state and, within each<br />
state, alphabetically by Fellow. In the following section is an alphabetical Index <strong>of</strong> Fellows which<br />
refers you to the page on which each Fellow’s biographical information can be found.<br />
