If we are unable to resolve your complaint, then you can have the complaint independently looked at by The Legal Ombudsman. The Legal Ombudsman investigates complaints about service issues with solicitors.
The Legal Ombudsman expects complaints to be made to them within one year of the date of the act or omission about which you are concerned or within one year of you realising there was a concern. You must also refer your concerns to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of our final response to you.
However, please note that from 1st April 2023 these time limits are changing. From the 1st April 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.
You can use the Legal Ombudsman Complaints Checker to find out more about making a complaint. To make a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, visit the Legal Ombudsman website or write to PO Box 6167, Slough SL1 0EH, Tel: 0300 555 0333 or email: enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk.
We are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The Solicitors Regulation Authority works with solicitors to make sure they comply with SRA Principles, to make sure they behave independently, fairly and with integrity to best serve the interests of their clients and the public interest. The SRA deals with reports of dishonesty or breaches of SRA Principles; however, they are not able to deal with issues of poor service. Issues of poor service should be dealt with by the Legal Ombudsman.
To find out more about SRA Principles or to make a report in respect of professional misconduct to the SRA, visit the SRA website or write to The Cube, 199 Wharfside Street, Birmingham, B1 1RN. You may also have a right to apply to the court for an assessment of our charges under Part III of the Solicitors Act 1974.
If you still have concerns and would like to make a complaint, then please contact the head of the department handling your matter in the first instance, who is identified in your engagement letter.
