Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.

 

The Solicitors Regulation Authority can help you if you are concerned

about our behaviour. This could be for things like dishonesty,

taking or losing your money or treating you unfairly because

of your age, a disability or other characteristic.

 

You can raise your concerns with the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

 

What do to 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 six years from the date of act/omission; or

• No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.

 

However, please note that from 1 April 2023 these time limits changed. From the 1 April 2023, the Legal Ombudsman expects complaints to be made to them within a year of the date of the act or omission about which you are concerned or within a year of you realising there was a concern. The requirement to refer your concerns to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of our final response to you remains the same.

​
