We are thrilled to announce that Benest & Syvret has been re-accredited with the prestigious Lexcel accreditation for 2024.
This marks the firm's unwavering commitment to legal excellence.
Lexcel is the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for practice management and client care. It is only awarded to firms that have achieved excellence in compliance and practice management, as well as delivering exceptional client service.
The accreditation process involves a detailed two-day audit of files, procedures, and interviews with partners and staff, ensuring an objective and comprehensive evaluation.
Advocate Nina Benest expressed her pride in the firm's achievement:
"We are delighted to announce that Benest & Syvret has been re-accredited with Lexcel. Lexcel is a Law Society quality mark for law firms demonstrating legal excellence. The assessment process is independent and objective and is testament to the hard work, file management, and personal service that the team at Benest & Syvret deliver to our clients."
Only a small percentage of law firms in England and Wales have been awarded Lexcel accreditation. Benest & Syvret is one of only two private firms holding this accreditation in Jersey since the award became available to firms outside of England and Wales in September 2010.
Partner Philip Syvret also highlighted the rigorous standards of the Lexcel accreditation process:
"The standards applied in the Lexcel accreditation are rigorous and closely monitored via an annual inspection by an independent assessor appointed by the Law Society. I am delighted that following a full two-day examination, our assessor was able to report not a single failure in compliance with Lexcel standards. Indeed, the report indicated that our risk management approach was exemplary. It was particularly pleasing that the assessor acknowledged that the ethos of providing outstanding client service was embedded within all of our team from partner level through to junior administrator."
After years of consecutive Lexcel accreditation, Benest & Syvret does not propose to rest on its laurels.
Stay tuned for more updates and developments from Benest & Syvret as we continue to strive for excellence in legal practice and client service.
