AWB Charlesworth Solicitors, which has offices in Skipton and Keighley, has secured the national Law Society’s quality mark, Lexcel, for the second year.

The nationally-recognised scheme provides assurance that a law firm offers excellent client care service, efficient case management, cost efficiency and a minimum risk service.

Managing partner April Chamberlain said: “Gaining Lexcel accreditation was an imperative aim for our practice as client care and efficiency are of utmost importance in all the services we provide and this is something we wanted to formally demonstrate. Due to the abundant competition in the legal services industry, it is vital that we prove our impressively high standards.”
