Flint Bishop celebrates a decade of ISO certifications

For the past ten years, we’ve demonstrated an unwavering commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, and information security through certification in the prestigious BSI ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, BSI ISO 14001 Environmental Management, and BSI ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management standards.

As a leading UK law firm, we recognise that these ISO standards set the gold standard for quality across all industries. Achieving a single ISO Standard certification is a testament to hard work and dedication − maintaining three for a decade is nothing short of extraordinary.

Head of Compliance, Becky Barham, commented:

“The ISO Standards really do set the benchmark for quality across all industries. Achieving an ISO Standard certification is no mean feat, and a lot of time, work, and effort, from across the business, goes into securing one. To achieve three ISO certifications, and to do so for 10 years in a row, is an incredible achievement, and one we’re very proud of. It’s a fitting testament to the people at the firm, who work hard day in, day out, and who exude quality in all they do.”

Our dedication to achieving ISO standards reflects our commitment to identifying areas for improvement, recruiting exceptional talent, and continuously striving to deliver outstanding service to clients. These ISO certifications, along with numerous other accolades and awards, underscore the firm’s position as a ‘Top 200 UK Law Firm’ (as awarded by The Lawyer) and a ‘Leading Firm’ (as awarded by The Legal 500).

Chief Executive, Qamer Ghafoor, added:

“Reaching a decade of ISO certifications is a testament to Flint Bishop’s relentless pursuit of excellence, resilience, and unwavering dedication to our clients. This milestone reinforces our commitment to delivering the highest quality services, reducing our environmental footprint, and safeguarding the information entrusted to us. We take immense pride in this achievement, and it motivates us to push the boundaries further in our quest to provide unparalleled service to our clients.”
