Sydney Mitchell, which has offices in Birmingham and Solihull, has once again secured Lexcel accreditation from the Law Society, the profession’s benchmark for excellence in legal practice.
The Lexcel standard is handed out only to firms that can show strong performance in areas such as client care, risk management, leadership and regulatory compliance. Passing the assessment gives clients an independent guarantee that a firm meets rigorous quality and professional standards.
The firm has also held on to its Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) accreditation, the Law Society’s benchmark for SRA-regulated firms handling residential conveyancing work. Partner Adam Oleskow heads up the conveyancing team at Sydney Mitchell.
Senior Partner Karen Moores said:
“Retaining our Lexcel accreditation is a fantastic achievement and reflects the dedication, professionalism and commitment of every member of our team. It recognises the strong culture we have built around delivering exceptional legal advice and outstanding client service for both private and business clients.
“Lexcel, together with our CQS accreditation, demonstrates our continued commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality, compliance and best practice across every area of the firm.”
She added that the accreditations give clients extra peace of mind:
“While Lexcel accreditation is voluntary, it gives clients confidence that they are instructing a firm that has been independently assessed against rigorous standards. It demonstrates our commitment to excellence in client care, effective case management, transparency and continuous improvement, ensuring our clients’ best interests remain at the heart of everything we do.
“We are proud to maintain the highest standards of legal expertise and client care,” adds Karen. “These accreditations reflect our commitment to delivering exceptional service, embracing industry best practice and achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients.”
Beyond these two accreditations, the firm belongs to Resolution, Solihull Chamber of Commerce and Birmingham Law Society.
Sydney Mitchell LLP was established more than 260 years ago and is listed as a Top Tier firm in The Legal 500. It has also won Birmingham Law Society’s Firm of the Year award, in the 5 to 15 partner category, on seven occasions.
