Individual accreditation

APIL accreditation provides a kitemark of competence and specialist expertise for solicitors and barristers dealing with personal injury claims. This kitemark helps the consumer to recognise expertise and specialisms within the profession. The accreditation scheme demonstrates that an APIL lawyer has achieved a specific standard.

With individual membership, you will:
  • appear in the APIL online personal injury lawyers search
  • become linked to a major national information campaign, promoting the logo and directing the public to accredited APIL members, their organisation and offices
  • benefit from APIL’s supporting press and PR activity to support APIL’s national public information campaign
  • through APIL’s consumer website and advertising campaigns, receive independent recognition for you and your organisation’s:
       - expertise
       - competencies
       - high professional standards
       - high standards for client care
  • ensure your practice/chambers is clearly differentiated.
