Lexcel Standard

Lexcel is the Law Society's practice management standard. It is a scheme for any type of practice to certify that certain standards have been met following independent assessment. The Lexcel practice management standard is only awarded to solicitors who meet the highest management and customer care standards. Lexcel accredited practices undergo rigorous independent assessment every year to ensure they meet required standards of excellence in areas such as client care, case management and risk management.

New standard - Lexcel v4

The new Lexcel standard, launched on 23 October 2007, provides legal practices with a framework of best practice principles for managing their practice. In particular, Lexcel helps practitioners comply with the new Solicitors' Code of Conduct 2007 and other regulations.

The new standard has been updated to reflect relevant changes in law and practice management. Compliance with Lexcel v4 is optional from 1 January 2008 and mandatory from 1 June 2008.

We achieved Lexcel in January 1999 and were the first legal practice in Derbyshire and the 17th in the country to be awarded this by the Law society. We have achieved Lexcel every year since and were the first law firm in the East Midlands to achieve the new Lexcel 4 standard.

As of 2009 no more than 8% of all law firms and practices in the UK have achieved Lexcel.
