Our Complaints Procedure

We are committed to providing a high quality legal service to all of our clients.  When something goes wrong we need you to tell us about it.  This will help us to improve our standards.

This procedure has been prepared in accordance with the Solicitors’ Code of Conduct and guidance issued by the Legal Ombudsman.  If you have a complaint please contact us with the details.  The name of the person to whom the complaint should be addressed is set out in the Terms & Conditions of Business sent to you at the beginning of your transaction.

We are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (the SRA). You can also refer any concerns that you have about us to the SRA which can be contacted at The Cube, 199 Wharfside Street, Birmingham, B1 1RW, by telephone on 0370 606 2555 or via its website at sra.org.uk/home/contact-us.

 

What will happen next

  1. We will acknowledge your complaint as soon as possible.  We will also notify you of the name of the person who will deal with your complaint. 
  1. Your complaint will normally be dealt with by our Client Care Partner who will investigate your complaint personally.  We aim to resolve complaints within eight weeks of original receipt.  Within that time we shall send you a letter setting out our suggestions for resolving the problem.  
  1. At this stage if you are still not satisfied you may within 6 months of our decision contact the Legal Ombudsman, PO Box 6806, Wolverhampton, WV1 9WJ
