COMPLAINTS HANDLING PROCEDURE
Your concerns
If at any time you have any worries about the way in which the matter is being handled by us, or about our bill, you should contact the Partner handling the matter to raise your concerns. If you feel unable to speak to that person then please contact one of the other Partners to discuss the matter. Most matters can be resolved quickly in accordance with our Complaints Procedure, a copy of which will be provided on request. If resolution is not possible, we shall co-operate fully in having the appropriate review body deal with the problem. In this connection, if your concerns are not satisfied within eight weeks of them being raised with the relevant Partner, you have the right to complain to the Legal Ombudsman. Information as to how to do this can be found by contacting him at PO Box 6806, Wolverhampton WV1 9WJ; tel 0300 555 0333 ; email enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk; web site: http://www.legalombudsman.org.uk/. Should it still not, however, prove possible to resolve problems then:
Governing law and jurisdiction
Any and all differences and disputes arising out of or in the course of our retainer shall be finally resolved under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts in London, and the laws, both substantive and procedural, of England and Wales, provided that we may in our sole and unfettered discretion commence proceedings against you in any other court.
