Rundlewalker Passes 2025 Lexcel Assessment with Flying Colours!

We are delighted to announce that Rundlewalker Solicitors has once again achieved outstanding results in the Law Society’s annual Lexcel Assessment - the ‘gold standard’ for excellence in legal practice management and client care.

Importantly, for the continued reassurance of our clients, this year’s report confirmed that there were no 'Non-Compliances'. In Layman’s terms, this is the same as saying there were no 'advisories on a vehicle MOT test' - the very best outcome possible.

The Assessor’s report was extremely positive, praising not only our systems and standards but also our ongoing commitment to staff development. He noted that he was:

“Extremely impressed by the number of people at the firm who are working towards various accreditations and how the firm are accessing Apprenticeship funding to support some of them.”

At Rundlewalker, we take great pride in maintaining the highest levels of service and compliance, while also investing in our people and their professional growth. Passing the Lexcel Assessment with such strong results is a testament to the hard work, dedication and expertise of our whole team.

Rundlewalker CEO Nick Dudman says: "We are proud of this recognition and look forward to building further on these successes in 2025 and beyond. I’m immensely proud of our entire team - this achievement is testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence. Passing the Lexcel Assessment with no ‘Non-Compliances’ demonstrates that our systems and client care standards are not just compliant but exemplary. It’s a reflection of everyone’s dedication, from those pursuing additional accreditations through apprenticeship programmes to those delivering exceptional service day in, day out."

For our clients, Lexcel Accreditation offers continued peace of mind, confirming that Rundlewalker operates to the very highest professional standards, with robust systems in place to ensure excellent client care.

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.
