Sessions will include:

First launched in January 2011, the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) offers regulators, lenders, insurers and home movers a recognisable standard of excellence in the provision of residential conveyancing services.

Changes to the scheme, including additional assessments and the introduction of on-site visits, were introduced in 2019, to encourage improvements in conveyancing best practice, client service and practice management.
