We are committed to providing the highest quality service to all our clients.

If you have a complaint, please contact us with as much detail as you can as we are keen to know. We use client feedback to learn lessons and find ways to improve our standards.

What will happen next?

  1. We will send you a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint within 5 working days of receipt.
  2. We will then investigate your complaint. This will normally be done by your Client Director (named in our General Terms of Business), who will review your matter file and speak to the members of staff who handled the matter for you.
  3. Your Client Director will then invite you to a meeting or video call to discuss and hopefully resolve your complaint. This will be done within 10 working days of sending you the acknowledgement letter.
  4. Within 5 working days of the meeting or video call, your Client Director will write to you to confirm the key points of the meeting or video call and any solution agreed with you.
  5. If you do not want a meeting or video call (or it is not possible), your Client Director will send you a written reply to your complaint, including suggestions for resolving the matter, within 15 working days of sending you the acknowledgment letter.
  6. If, at this stage, you are still not satisfied, you should contact us again and we will arrange for another Director to review our decision.
  7. We will write to you within 10 working days of receiving your request for a review, confirming our final position on your complaint, and explaining our reasons.
  8. If we must change any of the timescales above, we will let you know and explain why.
