What are the Benefits to Law Firms of Attaining the LEXCEL Accreditation?
Many law firms don’t realise the benefits that come along with the LEXCEL accreditation and many avoid applying for the accreditation simply because it’s “only a tick”.
This is far from the truth. Not only will your firm be required to have reached a certain standard in order to qualify, clients will be able to see that the firm has been awarded an accreditation which shows how successful they are.
You must be able to prove that your law firm is capable of meeting the high standards of excellence that are set out by the Law Society with regards to practice management. Although there are still a handful of firms who aren’t a part of the LEXCEL accreditation scheme, it has become increasingly popular over the past few years, with more firms realising their own potential.
The LEXCEL accreditation benefits a law firm in the following ways:
It boosts client confidence
If a client sees that a firm has been LEXCEL accredited, they will be more likely to deal with that firm over another which has no accreditations. The LEXCEL Accreditation demonstrates to clients, both existing and potential, that the firm is well managed and is achieving a practice standard that the Law Society is happy with. It also means that the firm will have policies, plans and procedures in place to ensure that a truly professional service is provided every single time.
It makes recruitment easier
When looking for new, prospective candidates, the LEXCEL accreditation will be extremely attractive to people who understand how the LEXCEL accreditation is attained. This demonstrates that the firm is professionally run and will have all the correct plans and procedures in place in order for them to be the most successful in their area of expertise.
It can help with obtaining Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII)
The LEXCEL accreditation will aid in the application for PII insurance. This is because the market will look more favourably on LEXCEL accredited firms, making it easier to apply for this essential insurance.
Helps Firms Identify What is Important to Them
All businesses have their strengths and weaknesses and it is important to be able to identify what these are in your business.
That’s where the LEXCEL accreditation comes in. It shows you the areas in your business which need to be improved upon, and once these have been adapted and bettered, your business will be awarded with the accreditation as proof that your firm is of a high enough standard.
