CARLISLE law firm Wragg Mark-Bell has successfully passed its annual review of a prestigious industry-standard qualification. 

Lexcel is the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for client care, compliance and practice management for practices and organisations operating in England and Wales. A practice must have Lexcel to hold a legal aid contract with the Legal Aid Agency.

Accreditation lasts for three years with a mandatory review that has to happen every year for a practice to keep the qualification.
