Russell & Russell Solicitors has successfully gained reaccreditation to the Law Society’s Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme (WIQS). In 2014, the Wood Street based firm became the first legal practice in Bolton, and one of the first in the North West, to receive the prestigious accreditation.

Operated by the Law Society, WIQS provides a best practice quality mark for firms that specialise in will writing and estate administration and gives confidence to consumers to know they are receiving advice they can trust from a Solicitors Regulation Authority regulated practice.

“This is a fantastic achievement“, said Judith Bromley, head of wills and probate at Russell & Russell. “The team has worked extremely hard to maintain the high standards required for retaining our certification and this demonstrates our determination to provide clients with the best possible service. Too many people receive bad advice or experience poor service from unregulated firms and, unfortunately, their families are left to deal with the consequences. Using a WIQS accredited firm offers peace of mind so that clients can trust that their affairs will be dealt with by a safe and experienced pair of hands.”
