Harris & Harris is a highly respected legal firm, known for its dedication to excellence in client care, staff development, and risk management. Holding the internationally recognised Lexcel Quality Mark since 2004 and being one of the first to adopt the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS). Their commitment to integrity and efficiency in conveyancing is clear to see, but with growth comes challenges. Harris & Harris found themselves facing a critical need: how to maintain their rigorous standards in an increasingly complex regulatory environment without overwhelming their team.
