Information on this website

This website offers general information about English law. Laws and guidance can change, so a page may not reflect the latest position.

We have not assessed your facts, documents or deadlines. No advice is given until we have reviewed the matter and confirmed that we can accept your instructions.

Use the information with care. We make no guarantee that website content is accurate or complete for your particular situation.

Enquiries and instructions

Sending a message or speaking with the practice does not create a solicitor-client relationship. The steps are clear.

  1. We review the enquiry. We may ask for more information before deciding whether the matter is one we can take on.
  2. We complete checks. Any proposed work is subject to a conflict check and our written confirmation that we accept your instructions.
  3. We confirm the terms. We explain the fee basis before chargeable work begins. Please do not rely on us to act until you have that confirmation.
