What will happen next?

• We will send you a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint within five days of receiving it.

• We will then investigate your complaint. This will normally involve passing your complaint to our Senior Director, Alex Green, who will review your matter file and speak to the member of staff who acted for you.

• We will then either:-

Invite you to a meeting to discuss, and hopefully resolve, your complaint. We will do this within 14 days of sending you the acknowledgement letter. Within 3 days  of the meeting we will then write to you to confirm what took place , along with any solutions agreed

OR

Send you a detailed written response to your complaint to include suggestions for resolving the matter. We will do this within 21 days of sending you the acknowledgement letter.

• At this stage, if you are still not satisfied, you should contact us again and we will arrange for another Director within the firm, who is unconnected with your matter, to review the decision.

• We will contact you within 14 days of receiving your request for a review, confirming our final position on your complaint and explaining our reasons.
