Law firm receives top legal accreditation

Local law firm Blackhurst Budd has won the prestigious Lexcel accreditation, becoming one of only a handful of Blackpool firms to boast the distinction.

The Law Society award is only given to Solicitors who meet the highest standards in customer care, as well as case and risk management.

It was given to Blackhurst Budd after four days of assessment at their Head Office on Edward Street in Blackpool.

Managing Partner Warren Spencer said: "For us to gain this accreditation within 15 months of merging is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of all the hard work done by our employees."

"The award underlines that the work undertaken on behalf of our clients is of the highest professional standard."

"Having the Lexcel accreditation will benefit Blackhurst Budd in a number of ways including improving management efficiency, enhancing client care and creating more impactful marketing."

The accreditation comes after a successful 12 months for the law firm as Warren was one of just six legal professionals to be shortlisted for the Law Society's prestigious "Solicitor of the Year Award, Private Practice".
