TS&P awarded APIL accreditation

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) was established in 1990 as the umbrella organisation for claimant personal injury lawyers and now has over 5000 members including solicitors, barristers and academics. As well as campaigning on behalf of accident victims APIL has always been committed to both training and improving standards in claimant work to ensure the best possible service for personal injury and clinical negligence clients. APIL has recently launched an accreditation scheme under the banner "no logo no go". The accreditation relates to both firms and individual lawyers. The purpose of accreditation is to guide the public towards solicitors who offer a high quality of service and away from claims management companies and those with no genuine expertise. Individual lawyers can become accredited if they are able to demonstrate the requisite experience and expertise to satisfy APIL's criteria including a particular emphasis on continuing training. A firm is also able to become accredited if it can demonstrate sufficient quality in terms of experience, training, supervision and resources. We are now an accredited firm and Patricia Fearnley and Graham Bell, partners at TS&P, were awarded APIL fellow status. At the time of going to press they are the only APIL fellows, specialising in clinical negligence work, in the south coast area from Hampshire to Kent. Patricia Fearnley said "We are very proud to have received this recognition from APIL particularly given our admiration for APIL's work and its commitment to the highest levels of client care".
