Woolsey Morris & Kennedy are a UK based firm of solicitors and we are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). We are required to adhere to solicitors rules, a copy of which can be accessed via the Solicitors Regulation Authority's website www.sra.org.uk.
Standards and procedures are also important to us. We hold the Law Society’s Lexcel quality standard and are one of only a handful of local law firms to have achieved this.
We are accredited as a member of The Law Society’s Personal Injury Panel. A number of our lawyers are also members of specialist practitioner groups such as the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, the Employment Lawyers Association and the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
Finally, and most importantly, ours is a people business and, as such, we are committed to the development of our employees' careers. Membership of the bodies mentioned above, together with our on-going training programmes help us to maintain our high professional standards in a constantly changing legal environment.
At Woolsey Morris & Kennedy we are pleased to have gained the prized Lexcel Practice Management Standard, a mark of quality specifically for solicitors.
The Lexcel quality mark shows that a solicitors' firm has met high standards in the way it is managed.
A Lexcel firm offers:
- excellent client service
- cost efficiency
- minimum risks
Firms are examined thoroughly before they are awarded the Lexcel quality mark. Then they are reviewed each year to make sure they are still working to the same high standards.
Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL)
APIL is an independent, not for profit organisation providing accreditation to practitioners specialising in the area of personal injury law.
This accreditation shows an APIL practitioner has achieved a specific standard. An APIL accredited practitioner will provide you with legal assistance if you have had a personal injury or contracted an illness or disease through no fault of your own.
The Personal Injury Panel is operated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
It is an accreditation scheme that:
- Promotes high standards in practice;
- Ensures that consumers are easily able to identify legal practitioners with proven competency in personal injury;
- Helps consumers make informed choices.
Firms with the Personal Injury Panel Logo will have one or more practitioners with skills, knowledge and experience in personal injury and will have been assessed against the SRA's own standards.
To ensure that panel members maintain the required level of competency and expertise the SRA periodically reviews it's panel members.
