Lexcel is a prestigious quality mark awarded by the Law Society following independent assessment. It is an award which is specifically designed for the legal profession and is only awarded to legal firms who can demonstrate good management and customer care.

On accreditation of this quality mark each firm must then be re-assessed on an annual basis for the following three years after which, the firm has to re-apply and undergo a full re-assessment of the standard.

The Dental Law Partnership was initially accredited with Lexcel in December 2002 and for the following three years successfully achieved full compliance in each annual assessment covering the six main standards: management structure, services and forward planning, financial management, office administration, managing people and case management.

The Dental Law Partnership undertook a full re-assessment of Lexcel in December 2005 and gained 100% compliance following an independent assessment. A Lexcel spokesperson commented that 'it was very unusual for a practice not to have any non-compliances at all raised at assessment and therefore to achieve 100% compliance is an outstanding result which can be credited to the professionalism of the whole team".

Achieving this prestigious award highlights our commitment to our clients and our aim to provide the best possible service. This accreditation reassures clients that they will receive a first class professional client-focused service from the Dental Law Partnership while at the same time demonstrating our commitment to providing the highest quality access to justice for the dental patient in England and Wales today.
