PRESS RELEASE                                                                                                        

 rhw solicitors LLP secures top accolade and accredited as ‘Centre of Excellence’ by national Law Society  

rhw solicitors in Guildfordhas, once again, secured the national Law Society’s law management quality mark, Lexcel.  Not only did rhw re-secure Lexcel they were accredited as a “Centre of Excellence”, which only a small percentage of law firms who gain Lexcel go on to achieve. 

Lexcel is developed specifically for the legal profession. It is an optional, recognised accreditation scheme for law firms and in-house legal departments 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 background checks and an on-site visit from an experienced, trained Lexcel assessor. 

Richard Brown, member 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 best practice.” 

Nicholas Fluck, President of the Law Society of England andWales, said: Gaining and maintaining Lexcel is no mean feat. There are many facets of being a Lexcel accredited law firm, including client care. A 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 they are taking to help clients in the increasingly diverse, complicated legal services market. The scheme is a beacon of quality to clients and potential clients alike” 

rhw solicitors joins more than 1500 other legal practices inEngland&Waleswith Lexcel accreditation. The practice management accolade has also gone international, with firms inScotland, the Middle East,Polandand theRepublicofIrelandhaving gained accreditation.
