We pride ourselves on providing an exceptional quality of service to all clients. However, if you feel that the level of service you have received has caused dissatisfaction, or the process has caused you financial loss, distress or inconvenience please contact us. If you have a complaint, in the first instance please contact the solicitor or other legal advisor who is handling your matter so that we can try to deal with the matter straight away. Alternatively please contact the partner of the firm with responsibility for the case. Details can be found in the client care letter sent to you at the outset of our engagement.
Within seven days of us receiving your complaint we will send you a letter acknowledging receipt and, if needed, request further information about your complaint. Once our investigation is complete we will send you a detailed response within 28 days of receiving your original written complaint, or where we have asked you for further information within 14 days of our receiving that information from you. If we require more time to investigate the matter, we will let you know and confirm when we expect to provide the detailed response. If you are not satisfied with our detailed response we will refer the matter to another partner or senior manager for further review. They will write to you within seven days of receiving your written request for a review confirming our final position on your complaint and explaining our reasons.
What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint
The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.
Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:
• Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint, and
• No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
• No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
