Blythe Liggins retains national legal award

The Rugby Road firm first attained the national Law Society’s Lexcel management quality mark in 2010.

Fewer than one in ten law firms currently hold the accreditation.

Joint senior partner Richard Thornton said his firm had retained the quality mark for delivering a consistent, high standard of service to its clients and for being able to demonstrate a commitment to quality business management.

He said: “For a law firm to gain – and then to retain – Lexcel accreditation as we have done for four successive years, it must undergo a rigorous initial – and then annual – application and assessment process.”

The scheme is developed specifically for the legal profession.

“There is a lot of choice in the legal services market, but by maintaining this accreditation we’ve demonstrated again our deep-seated commitment to the highest standards of client care, staff development and best practice,” said Mr Thornton.
