Lexcel Awards Bowcock Cuerden LLP Accreditation For Excellence

Lexcel Awards Bowcock Cuerden LLP accreditation for excellence

Lexcel is the Law Society’s quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and in client care. Bowcock Cuerden LLP has held the prestigious Lexcel accreditation standard since 2001. The standard is noted as going significantly beyond the requirements normally required of solicitors’ practices.

Accredited firms are assessed annually by independent external assessors and our 22nd annual assessment took place at the end of January 2023.

 The Lexcel standard identifies an “Area of Good Practice” as one in which Lexcel requirements are not merely met but exceeded. The assessor identified fifteen such areas throughout the firm. Particularly praised were the firm’s strategic financial and risk management, its GDPR compliance systems, its level of service to clients and its systems for the management of clients’ matters. Also highlighted was the firm’s accreditation to Cyber Essentials which is likely to become a new requirement when the Lexcel standards change this year. This confirms that the firm has the correct security controls in place.

Managing Director, Lesley Smith said: “We are delighted to have maintained the Lexcel accreditation and this is a fitting tribute to the hard work and dedication of our staff”.
