We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service we have provided then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.
In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the client service partner who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues at this stage.

The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve a complaint ourselves relating to legal services regulated by the SRA. The Legal Ombudsman will look at your complaint independently and it will not adversely 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 our final response to your complaint; and
- No more than one year from the date of act or omission being complained about; or
- No more than one year from the date when you should reasonably have known that there was cause for complaint.
