11. We are not responsible for websites we link to

Where the Websites contain links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only.

We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources.

12 Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

Whether you are a business customer (a “Business Customer”) or a consumer (a “Consumer”):

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter.  

We do not warrant or guarantee that the Websites are error or virus free or free of other harmful components. You are responsible for configuring your information technology, computer programmes and platform to access the Websites. You should use your own virus protection software.

We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations, or other terms that might be applicable to the Websites or our Content.

If you are a Business Customer:

  • We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable, arising under or in connection with:
  • use of, or inability to use, our Website; or
  • use of or reliance on any Content displayed on our Website.

In particular, we will not be liable for:

  • loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue;
  • business interruption;
  • loss of anticipated savings;

  • If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

13. You may link to the Websites

You may link to our Websites, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it.

14. If you apply for employment with us

By applying for employment with us through the Websites, you agree that all information provided in your application, including personal details, qualifications, and employment history, is accurate, and not misleading.

By applying, we will process your personal data for recruitment purposes in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including evaluating your suitability for the role, contacting you, and conducting background checks where applicable.

15. No lawyer-client relationship established

Using or accessing the Websites, including the use of any technical solutions offered through the Websites (including but not limited to the use of the online chat function on, or the services offered through, the Websites, or email) to communicate with us does not create a lawyer-client relationship between you and us. Do not send us confidential information until we have a written engagement agreement in place with you. Any information you send us before then is not considered privileged or confidential.

16. Complaints

We strive to offer the best service possible. If you have any concerns or are unsatisfied:

  • Speak up: Please communicate your concerns to the individual managing your matter. If you’re uncomfortable doing that, you can reach out directly to our Complaints Officer at [email protected].
  • Formal complaints: If your concerns aren’t addressed promptly, they will escalate to a formal complaint. A senior member of our team will review the situation. We’ll respond with our final decision and suggested resolution within eight (8) weeks.
  • Disagree with our decision: If you are not satisfied with our response:
  • If you are our client, you are generally expected to go through our internal complaint procedure first.
  • You may also contact the Legal Ombudsman using the details below.

Escalating Complaints

  • Contact the Legal Ombudsman: If based in the UK and relating to a UK matter, you can take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman within six (6) months of receiving a final response to your complaint from us. From 1 April 2023, the Legal Ombudsman also expects complaints to be made to them within one (1) year of the date of the act or omission about which you are concerned or within one (1) year of you realising there was a concern.
  • Address: Legal Ombudsman, PO Box 6167, Slough, SL1 0EH
  • Phone: 0300 555 0333 between 9am to 5pm

Please remember:

  • The Legal Ombudsman in the UK focuses on service quality concerns.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

As a firm of solicitors, we are required to maintain professional indemnity insurance up to a certain limit in order to protect clients (subject to the terms of the policy) in the unlikely event of a mistake being made in a case. If you feel that we have made a mistake in your case and that you have or will suffer loss or damage as a result, you must inform us straight away. Contact details and details of the territorial coverage for our professional indemnity insurers are available upon request from the individual handling your matter.

17. What happens if there is a dispute about these terms

These terms are available in English only. If you are reading these terms in a different language, they are a translation of the English terms and are not an official version of the terms. In the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and the translation, the English version will prevail.

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales (or the laws of Scotland if you are domiciled there). Disputes arising in connection with these terms are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.  

18.What happens if any part of these terms are not enforceable

If any provision of these terms is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable then that invalid or unenforceable part will be deemed deleted from these terms, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of these terms which will remain in full force and effect.

19. We may transfer this agreement to someone else

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. You are not permitted to transfer any of your rights under these terms to any other person.
