We provide our regulated firms with a digital logo (aka `Smart Badge’), which they must display on the Home Page of their website.
This provides reassurance to anyone visiting a firms’ website that they are looking at the website of a genuine firm that is regulated by us.
When visiting a website you will see one of the digital logos similar to the examples below:
|
|
CILEX Authorised FirmThe area of law that the firm is authorised to carry out, is stated on the logo.The firm will have a different logo for each area of law it is authorised to carry out. |
|
|
CILEX-ACCA Probate FirmThere is only one type of logo for these firms. |

The logo shows the `Valid on’ date – this should be the current date, the date when you are looking at the website. If a different date is showing, there might be a problem with the website. Please contact us at info@cilexregulation.org.uk
Click on “Verify now”. You will be taken to one of the pages (please see examples below), where you can find:
- a box to click to return to the firm’s verified website
- information about protections you have using the firm, and
- additional information you may find helpful while you are deciding which lawyer to choose.
Nb. If you cannot click through to one of the verification pages, please contact us at info@cilexregulation.org.uk
