ABS Registration Heralds a New Dawn for the Legal Profession

ABS registration is with us at long last, and as many of your will already know, here at Langley Wellington we take pride in being a current and proactive part of the legal profession. So it may come as no surprise when you discover that were the first legal organisation in Gloucestershire to achieve ABS registration. We are also only the 15th in the whole of England to achieve registration. Our license, (issued by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority) comes into force as from the 1st of October this year.

ABS registration means that non lawyers, will for the first time in the history of the legal profession, be legally entitled to become owners of legal businesses. This move creates opportunities for talented managers, and gifted entrepreneurs. They can now become a part of the legal business framework, bringing a new rich vein of business knowledge and experience with them.

The Conveyancing Quality Scheme – The Conveyancing World’s Mark of Excellence

The Conveyancing Quality Scheme, (a scheme administered by the Law Society), is the conveyancing world’s mark of excellence. It has been designed to ensure that residential property buyers have access to Conveyancing Solicitors who meet the highest standards of the profession. It regulates performance of member solicitors with a view to making sure that the conveyancing process is handled efficiently, and professionally, within the shortest time frame.

Cotswold Conveyancing Centre, Langley Wellington’s dedicated conveyancing service, and Langley Wellington itself have been an approved, registered member of the Conveyancing Quality Scheme since June 2011.
