exeter solicitors lexcel accreditedExeter Law Firm Rundlewalker has once again successfully retained the coveted Law Society’s Lexcel Accreditation, a much sought after award it has now held for well over a decade. The Lexcel accreditation is widely accepted by the legal profession to be the 'gold-star' legal quality mark and is designed to give clients reassurance that a legal practice has the processes in place to meet their needs. This years' assessment was the firms' best performance yet, with the firm improving on the already high standards achieved last year.

Practice Manager Roger Henderson said anyone wondering how to choose a solicitor, should always look for the Lexcel Quality Mark:
“The firm is delighted to have passed so well and to have had its standards and procedures recognised by the Law Society. This ensures our clients receive the best quality service. It is also testament to all the hard work put in by our staff during the year.”

"Clients now have a broad and varied choice of practices in the legal services marketplace, so this award helps us to stand out in our commitment to client care and best practice.

"Delivering good client care and maintaining a strong client relationship are essential for solicitors, and those gaining and maintaining Lexcel show their dedication to go above and beyond. Committing to high standards in customer service and practice management is fundamentally important in today’s ever more competitive legal services market.

"By undergoing an independently assessed Lexcel accreditation, firms can demonstrate their commitment and consistent determination to exceed client expectations, improve overall satisfaction and assist regulatory compliance. The Lexcel Quality Mark is an objective and external assurance for clients and potential clients alike."


Rundlewalker CEO Nick Dudman said he was extremely proud of his team’s achievement for another year:
"It’s a reassurance to our clients that they are gettting the very best professional advice. And it’s also an important indicator to our staff and indeed future staff, that we are working to the highest standards. Retaining this award is testament to the unwavering commitment of our team across the board; thanks to each and every one of them once again."

Only the most committed legal practices have a Lexcel accreditation. By retaining this award, Rundlewalker, based on Exeter Quay, are demonstrating their continued high level of administration and practice management and remain one of the select group of practices in England and Wales who can boast this accreditation.

What is Lexcel?
The Law Society of England and Wales' Lexcel Quality Mark is designed for legal practices that want to implement an effective practice management system. First launched in 1998, Lexcel accreditation is a sign of quality, showcasing a firm's commitment to sound practice management, giving reassurance to current and future clients that this is a firm built on trust and integrity.

Lexcel involves a rigorous application and assessment process scrutinising not just a legal practice’s professional expertise but also the quality of its systems, information and communications technology (ICT) defences, file management, structure and strategy, client care and treatment of staff. It includes in-depth background checks and an onsite visit from an independent Lexcel assessor.

With staff members increasingly working from home, it has never been more important for clients to be able to rely upon the trusted risk framework familiar to a Lexcel Accredited legal practice. Clearly documented policies, processes and procedures help to protect the firm, its employees, and its clients. Lexcel accreditation demonstrates a firm’s commitment to excellence, and accredited law firms are rightfully proud to display the Lexcel logo.
