Client Care
We value our good relationships with our clients. However, we accept that from time to time, difficulties and misunderstandings may arise. If you have any problems, you should feel free to discuss your concerns with the member of our professional staff dealing with your work. If, after such discussions, you feel that the matter has not been adequately dealt with, please write to the Managing or Senior Partner at the address above to implement our internal complaints procedure. During this procedure the Managing Partner or Senior Partner (or another partner if either of them is involved in the matter) will review our file and the details of the complaint, and will provide a response to you in writing. A copy of the firm?s internal complaints procedure is available to clients on request.
In the very unusual event that we are unable to resolve your complaint internally, you may raise your complaint with the Intellectual Property Regulation Board and/or with the Legal Ombudsman.
