All firms, large or small, need to address issues of competitive advantage, client care, risk management, greater efficiency, people management and regulatory compliance.  One way to do so is by the attainment of Lexcel, the Law Society's own Quality Mark.  The accreditation provides a framework of Best Practice that guides firms towards improved performance in a number of key areas - Structures & Policies, Strategy, Financial Management, People Management, Supervision and Operational Risk Management, Client Care, File & Case Management.  Many firms will be closer to the accreditation standard than they realise, others will need to start from scratch but the benefits to be gained by attaining Lexel far outwieigh the resources needed to achieve it.  Gasparini Consulting is a Law Society accredited Lexel Consultant.
