The sky's the limit for award winning law firm

Award winning Colchester law firm Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP has been recognised by the Law Society as having the highest management and customer care standards.

The firm which employs 120 staff has been awarded a prestigious Lexcel quality mark in recognition of its exceptional level of customer service, risk management, case management, and staff investment.

Lexcel is the Law Society’s practice management quality mark written specifically for the legal profession and is only given to those law practices which undergo rigorous independent assessments every year to ensure they meet required standards of excellence.

Senior Partner at Fisher Jones Greenwood, Tony Fisher said: “It is the first time we have applied for Lexcel so we are delighted to have been awarded the mark. We are continually striving to improve our performance, invest in our staff, and provide all our clients with the very best service, and it’s great that this has now been recognised.”

The firm also had another reason to celebrate recently as its Investment in People (IiP) accreditation has been renewed.  Mr Fisher added: “We first became accredited with IiP in 1998 and believe we were the first law firm in Colchester to achieve this standard.  We undergo an IiP assessment every three years, and we recently heard that we have again met and in some cases exceeded the criteria needed to meet the IiP standard, which we are very pleased about.”

Fisher Jones Greenwood recently won the solicitors’ category at the prestigious Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards, and also the Business in the Community East of England Leadership Award for Pro Bono Company of the Year.
