Liverpool, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/28/2014 -- based solicitors Canter Levin & Berg have made a positive start to the New Year by successfully completing two major assessments, Lexcel and Investors in People. These assessments confirmed that the firm maintains high standards in client care, practice management and in the training and development of our staff.

What is Investors in People?

An Investors in People assessment was held at Canter Levin & Berg in order to establish whether the firm met all of the evidence requirements for the Investors in People Standard by looking back at its activities over the past year. An independent assessor visited the firm and interviewed 19 members of staff, identifying areas where the firm exceeded the IIP standard as well as areas for improvement.

The assessment was successful and confirmed the firm continues to meet the requirements of the IIP standard. The IIP assessor noted that communications within the firm worked well, with senior staff described as open and approachable. It was also noted that levels of staff involvement in the firm were good, as was the learning and continuing development of staff members, to allow them to “develop their optimal potential”.

What is Lexcel?

The Law Society Lexcel accreditation is a legal quality mark designed to show that a law firm offers the highest standards of client care and practice management. Awarded for 3 years at a time, Lexcel each firm will receive an annual monitoring inspection from an independent assessor who visits the firm to check that they are continuing to comply with the standard. The successful assessment this year means that Canter Levin & Berg have been awarded the accreditation for another 3 years.

The assessment this year highlighted the high standards of client care across all departments, as well as good feedback from the firm's clients and a low level of complaints.
