We always aim to provide our clients with an excellent service. However, if you have a complaint you are invited to let us know as soon as possible. It is not necessary to involve your solicitors in order to make your complaint but you are free to do so should you wish.
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint, you have the right to complain to the Legal Ombudsman, the independent complaints body for complaints about lawyers. You can contact the Legal Ombudsman at: –
Legal Ombudsman
PO Box 6167
Slough
SL1 0EH
Telephone number: 0300 555 0333
Email: enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk
Please note that the Legal Ombudsman has time limits within which a complaint must be raised with them. You must complain to the Legal Ombudsman either within 6 years of your barrister’s actions or failure to act OR no later than 3 years after you should reasonably have known there were grounds to complain. You must also complain to the Legal Ombudsman within 6 months of receiving your barrister’s final response to your complaint.
Please see our Complaints Procedure for more information.

The decision data shows which providers were the subject of an Ombudsman’s decision in the previous 12 months and whether the provider was required to give the consumer a remedy.
All of our barristers have professional indemnity insurance cover (of at least £500,000) in respect of all the legal services they supply to the public.
