About the QMS 4 LAW Standard

A Quality Standard for Lawyers

QMS 4 LAW^®; is the only international quality standard for the legal sector not administered by a lawyer self-interest group, membership association, society or council. It is also the only one written for international use right from the outset.

QMS 4 LAW extends right across the field of governance as well as setting minimum standards for how cases are handled. On top of that, QMS 4 LAW has continual improvement at its heart - something other similar standards lack.

QMS 4 LAW covers quality management of key processes, their interaction, structures, strategy and governance.
