Chadwick Lawrence Secures Top Accolade From National Law Society For Eleventh Year Running
Yorkshire law practice, Chadwick Lawrence, has secured the national Law Society’s legal practice quality mark, Lexcel, for the eleventh year in a row.
Lexcel is developed specifically for the legal profession. It is an optional, recognised accreditation scheme for law firms and in house legal departments which give assurance that a practice meets high client care and business management standards.
To gain and retain Lexcel accreditation, which is now in its sixth version, a practice must undergo a rigorous initial then annual application and assessment process. This includes conducting background checks and an onsite visit from an independent experience trained Lexcel assessor.
Nicholas Worsnop, Partner at Chadwick Lawrence said: “We are proud to have secured Lexcel for the eleventh consecutive year. Over that period, our clients and staff have been the main beneficiaries. They know the way we manage the practice has their interests at heart and it runs efficiently. There is a lot of choice in the legal services market, but being Lexcel accredited demonstrated our commitment to client care and best practice.”
Jonathan Smithers, President of the Law Society of England and Wales, said: “Gaining and maintaining Lexcel is a considerable feat. There are many facets of being a Lexcel accredited law firm, including excellence in client care. A real commitment to customer service in today’s evermore competitive legal services market is vital.
“By undergoing the rigorous Lexcel application and assessment process, practices can show the positive steps which they are taking to help clients in the increasingly diverse and complicated legal services market.
“The scheme is a beacon of quality to clients and potential clients alike.”
