Hardmans Solicitors is proud to announce, that we have successfully achieved re-accreditation with Lexcel, the Law Society’s Practice Management standard, for the tenth year running.
Lexcel is developed specifically for the legal profession. It is a recognised accreditation scheme for law firms which gives assurance that a practice meets high client care and business management standards.
To gain and retain Lexcel accreditation, a practice must undergo a rigorous initial then annual application and assessment process. This includes conducting rigorous checks and meeting with an experienced, trained Lexcel assessor.
Eleanore Plews, Senior Partner said: “While we are proud to have secured Lexcel, it is our clients and staff who are the main beneficiaries. They can be assured that the way we manage the practice has their interests at heart and runs efficiently. There is a lot of choice in the legal services market, but being Lexcel accredited demonstrates our commitment to client care and the best practice.”
What is Lexcel?
Lexcel is the Law Society’s Practice Management Standard. It is open to any firm to certify that, following an independent assessment, they meet the high standards required by the scheme. This is only awarded to solicitors who meet the highest standard of practice management and client care. Lexcel accredited firms undergo a rigorous independent assessment every year to ensure they meet the standards required in areas such as Financial Management, People Management, Risk Management and Client Care.
