Specialist Quality Mark

The Specialist Quality Mark (SQM) is a quality assurance standard designed for organisations that:

  • Supply complex legal help.

  • Offer a full range of legal services, including representation in court (where necessary and permitted) by formally trained professionals.

Criminal Law

The Criminal Litigation Accreditation covers all types of criminal law work.

Members will have demonstrated through external examination that they have and will maintain a high level of knowledge, skills, experience and practice in the area of criminal litigation.

Mental Health

Only members of the Mental Health Scheme are authorised to represent clients under a legal aid contract who are detained under the Mental Health Act before the relevant tribunal in England or Wales. 

Changes to legal aid contracts in August 2014 mean that all mental health representatives now require this accreditation.
