Accreditations
The Law Society - Membership
Membership of Law Society accreditation schemes is voluntary. The expertise of scheme members in a given area of law has been verified, and their accomplishment is recognised by the Law Society.
Why are Waldrons accredited?
The Law Society operates the accreditation schemes in order for us to:
- promote our high standards in legal service provision
- ensure that our potential clients identify us as a legal practitioners with proven competency in given areas of law
- help our existing clients to make informed choices
- ensure that Waldrons maintain relevant standards of competency and expertise, by means of periodic reselection, re-accreditation and re-authorisation
The accreditations held by Waldrons
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) offers ‘panel status’ to Solicitors with specialist knowledge and experience. Where you see our accredited mark, we have individual solicitors on the relevant panel.
Quality Standards
The Law Society is the representative body of solicitors in England and Wales. They assess practices for quality standards and issue their accreditation to solicitors who can demonstrate excellence in client care.
Lexcel certification is only awarded to solicitors who meet the high management and customer care standards set by the law society. As a Lexcel accredited practice we undergo rigorous independent assessment every year to ensure we continue to meet required standards of excellence in areas such as client care, case management and risk management.
In practical terms this means you receive:
- a timely response to all client communications
- regular and accurate cost estimates
- information on how charges will be calculated
Waldrons have held this accreditation since 2005.
