A solicitors firm has scooped the highest award possible for management quality.

Cornish Simply Legal Solicitors in High Street, Barkingside, has secured the national Law Society’s law management practice accreditation Lexcel.

The accreditation is only awarded to practices which meet the highest of standards and is designed to give clients reassurance that a legal practice meets their needs.

Savita Sharma, practice manager, 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.”

The solicitors had to undergo a rigorous annual application process, including background checks and a site visit from an independent Lexcel assessor to achieve and maintain the accreditation.
