Following intense competition from 10 other legal firms, NewLaw Solicitors were highly commended by the judges of the Lexcel Award for Excellence in Practice Management, in recognition of their outstanding achievements and excellent service delivery to clients.

Lexcel is the Law Society's practice management standard and aims to enhance the service provided by a legal practice to its clients in order to improve the management of the practice and the morale and motivation of its staff.

The judging panel, which included John Pickup, Chair of the Lexcel Panel, and Chris Marston, Head of Professional Practices at Lloyds TSB Commercial, were complimentary of NewLaw’s rapid growth, excellent practice management and implementation of the Lexcel standard since the firm was established in 2004. 

NewLaw is a personal injury specialist firm and employs 270 people. The firm has expanded and developed an excellent reputation with clients, insurers and referrers and switched its banking to Lloyds TSB Commercial in April 2010.

Speaking on behalf of the judging panel, Chris Marston, Head of Professional Practices, Lloyds TSB Commercial said:

“NewLaw have wholeheartedly embraced Lexcel and used it to underpin their client-orientated ethos and business growth objectives.

“As a firm, they have embraced the high standards and good practice of Lexcel to achievetremendous and rapid growth, while at the same time delighting clients and becoming a market leader in service delivery and regulatory compliance.”

Commenting on the award win on behalf of NewLaw Solicitors, Kirsty Lay, Marketing Manager, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to receive this prestigious award. Ensuring that we maintain the Lexcel standard is extremely important to the firm and this recognition from the Law Society reflects our continuing efforts to provide the very best service to our clients.

“We like the fact that our bank supports the Lexcel standard so actively. Our Relationship Director, Andrew Williams, has been trained by the Law Society as a Lexcel Consultant, and that means he understands the issues and speaks our language.”
