Watkins Solicitors are a Lexcel-accredited Firm

Lexcel is the Law Society’s quality standard for client care, compliance and practice management. Effectively a badge of excellence, the scheme certifies that participating law firms can demonstrate that certain standards have been met through independent assessment. Watkins Solicitors have maintained the Lexcel accreditation since 2018.

Lexcel sets the standard for:

• client care
• risk management
• people management
• structure and strategy
• financial management
• information management
• file and case management

Firms who achieve Lexcel demonstrate the ability to:

• effectively manage risk
• attract new business and increase client retention
• reduce client complaints and increase client satisfaction
• comply with new practice rules and regulatory requirements
• increase profitability and efficiency by using standardised processes

The accreditation is reviewed annually by The Law Society and its representatives to ensure that standards do not deviate.
