Our complaints policy
We are committed to providing a high-quality legal service to all our clients. When something goes wrong we need you to tell us about it. This will help us to improve our standards.
Our complaints procedure
If you have a complaint, contact us with the details.
What will happen next?
1 We will send you a letter acknowledging your complaint and asking you to confirm or explain the details set out. We will also let you know the name of the person who will be dealing with your complaint. You can expect to receive our letter within two days of us receiving your complaint.
2 We will record your complaint in our central register and open a separate file for your complaint. We will do this within a day of receiving your complaint.

We will then start to investigate your complaint. This will normally involve the following steps.
- We will pass your complaint to Andrew Isaacs, our Client Care manager, within three days.
- He will ask the member of staff who acted for you to reply to your complaint within 5 days.
- He will then examine their reply and the information in your complaint file. And, if necessary, he may also speak to them. This will take up to three days from receiving their reply and the file.
4 Andrew Isaacs will then invite you to a meeting and discuss and hopefully resolve your complaint. He will do this within three days.
5 Within two days of the meeting Andrew Isaacs will write to you to confirm what took place and any solutions he has agreed with you. If you do not want a meeting or it is not possible, Andrew Isaacs will send you a detailed reply to your complaint. This will include his suggestions for resolving the matter. He will do this within five days of completing the investigation.
6 At this stage, if you are still not satisfied you contact us again. We will then arrange to review our decision. This will happen in one of the following ways.
- Another senior member of the company will review Andrew Isaacs's decision within 10 days.
- We will invite you to agree to independent mediation within five days. We will let you know how long this process will take.
7 We will let you know the result of the review within five days of the end of the review. At this time we will write to you confirming our final position on your complaint and explaining our reasons. We will also give you the name and address of the Claims Management Regulator. If you are still not satisfied, you can contact them about your complaint. If we have to change any of the timescales above, we will let you know and explain why.
