Business continuity planning to become compulsory for Lexcel accreditation in UK legal profession

Legal Risk, a Liverpool-based firm, has reported that business continuity will become a compulsory requirement of Lexcel from March 2007.

The standard will be amended to require accredited legal firms to have a business continuity plan.

Lexcel is the Law Society's practice management quality mark. Written specifically for the legal profession, it allows any type and size of practice to undergo independent assessment to certify that the Lexcel Practice Management Standards are being met.
