Here are the full details of our current accreditations, recognitions and trusted partners.
Quality Standards
Investors in People (IIP)
We’ve held IIP accreditation since 2000, and it gives us a straightforward, proven framework to deliver business improvement through people. We aim to ensure that we achieve success through everyone who works here and that everyone feels a part of that success.
IIP sets a high standard which can vary at each assessment. So as a firm, we must adapt and make changes where necessary to ensure that we meet the accreditation standards.
LEXCEL
Each year brings new areas of focus and challenges for our business, and we have to constantly review and update our business policies to ensure we stay ahead of our competitors.
Lexcel, a business accreditation from the Law Society that supports excellence in legal practice management and client care, helps us ensure we have the necessary policies, procedures and frameworks in place.
We’ve held Lexcel accreditation since 1998 and were the first legal practice to achieve this accreditation.
The Law Society
We’re proud to hold Law Society accreditations in a wide range of legal areas.
These show that we’ve earned special recognition of our expertise and help to promote high quality standards in legal services.
They can also enable clients to easily identify proven legal experts when choosing who to instruct.
