THE CONVEYANCING DEPARTMENT at Paul Crowley & Co solicitors has once again been awarded the Law Society’s recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices. The Liverpool-based firm has been re-accredited each year since the commencement of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) in 2011. This accreditation assures clients, lenders and all parties involved in the conveyancing community that the firm is acting in accordance with an expected ‘gold standard’ of competence. Re-accreditation also assists with the continued development of the conveyancing team as it is required to undergo training and assessment on an annual basis. Jenna Gall, director and head of the conveyancing team (pictured) at PC&Co, says: “My thanks and those of the board of directors go to the conveyancing team for its continued dedication, commitment and hard work in providing our clients with a positive home buying and selling experience year on year”. PC&Co’s CQS re-accreditation follows the firm being awarded the Lexcel quality mark – also from the Law Society. Lexcel is an internationally recognised accreditation which helps raise standards and promote a high-quality approach to practice management and client care. In other news, PC&Co is currently recruiting and has recently welcomed conveyancing executive Matthew Wignall, who is already proving to be an asset to the team. YM Liverpool 33
