Lexcel

What is Lexcel?

LEXCEL is the quality mark developed by the Law Society of England & Wales for practices and legal departments which have been independently assessed as having achieved the Practice Management Standards. The Law Society of Northern Ireland has negotiated a licensing arrangement with LSEW to market and assess LEXCEL as a Quality Mark to solicitors in Northern Ireland. No compulsion is involved, it is a matter for the individual practice whether to undergo assessment.
