An accreditation scheme is a group of legal practitioners whose expertise in a particular area of law has been tested, assessed and accredited by the Law Society or the Solicitors Regulation Authority. These schemes promote standards of excellence in the delivery of legal services.
Accreditation schemes are also intended to help consumers identify solicitors and solicitors' employees who are competent and experienced in key areas of legal practice.
Only practitioners who meet exacting requirements are permitted to join our accreditation schemes.
When you see a professional accreditation scheme logo, you'll know that the practitioner's skills and knowledge have been rigorously and independently tested. Find out more about each scheme below.
