The ethos of Lexlink is that the members of the Lexlink network are united by the same business philosophy, which emphasises the quality of legal services available for clients. Regular contact among the members of Lexlink is intended to create confidence in one another, leading to good cooperation and results.

The main features of Lexlink can be identified as speed, accuracy, and cultural difference. Because the membership gets to know each other socially, they are better able to understand each other and develop a trust between each other, leading to more speedy delivery of advice. Each member of Lexlink knows that when advice is sought they must deliver accurate and quality service. Where there are national cultural differences Lexlink seeks to establish a level of understanding and similar approach to the client with a view to seeking their best interests in the resolution of their particular problem.

Cases are handled in Lexlink either directly by the introduced firm dealing with the client or, alternatively, by the introducing firm seeking the advice from the member of Lexlink passing back that advice to their own client.
