Investor In People

Investors in People is best described as a framework that helps to improve the performance of a business. It does by assisting organisations introduce and use procedures that focus on business planning, objective setting, induction, staff training, reviewing performance via performance appraisals or similar. As you can see, nearly all of these things are related to "people" - the main and most important resource of this Firm.

The Firm has been re-assessed on both of the above on a number of occasions, and came through the process extremely well. In fact the results of our previous re-assessment showed that as a Firm we had improved against the IiP standards, a remarkable achievement in itself

LEXCEL

LEXCEL PMS are the Law Society’s Practice Management Standards, these focus on the effective management of the business and aim to ensure that any Law Firm that achieves this standard has put in place what is best described “management best practice”, i.e. Business Planning, Training Plans, File Audit, Continuous Improvement.

The retention of both the IiP and LEXCEL awards is based on a process of “continuous assessment and improvement”, with the choices being either a “full assessment” once every three years, or ongoing assessment on an annual basis. The Firm opted for an annual assessment as this would help us keep the standards up to date and ensure that we kept developing the Practice.

Since then being awarded the two Quality Standards, the Firm has been going through the process of maintaining our compliance by working to all the “best practice” standards and methods that we introduced as part of our journey towards recognition.
