    Disclaimer

    This website and other materials posted on our website contain general information based on English law and, whilst we make every effort to ensure that the contents are accurate and up to date, nothing in these pages should be construed as legal advice. We therefore disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any visitor to our website, or by anyone who may be informed of its contents.

      Accessing our website

      Access to our website is permitted on a temporary basis and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide on our website without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason our website is unavailable at any time or for any period.

      From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of our website, or our entire website, to users who have registered with us.

      You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to our website. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our website through your internet connection are aware of these terms, and that they comply with them.

        Social Media

        Any social media accounts we have are managed by the marketing team. Social media does not replace our other contact processes. This practice does not accept service of any documents via social media.

        We do not use any automation to post content on Twitter. Please note that we do not automatically follow back new followers, and being followed by us on Twitter, does not imply endorsement of any kind.

          Links to other websites

          These Terms of Business and our Privacy Notice only covers this practice’s website. We are not responsible for the data policies, procedures, practices or content of any linked or third party websites. We recommend that you check the privacy and security policies of each website you visit.

            Security

            We endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information but cannot guarantee the security of any data you disclose online. Please note that email is not a secure medium and should not be used to send confidential or sensitive information. You accept the inherent security risks of providing information and dealing online over the internet and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security unless this is due to our negligence or wilful default.

              What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint

              The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not 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 a final response to your complaint
                and
              • No more than one year from the date of act/omission; or
              • No more than one year from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.


              If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
