Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We may collect identity and contact details, information about your legal matter, financial information where required, correspondence, identification and verification documents, information supplied through our website, and technical information about use of the website.

Why we use your information

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, provide legal services, carry out conflict and identity checks, comply with legal and regulatory duties, administer billing and accounts, protect our systems and legal rights, and improve our services.

Our lawful bases

Depending on the circumstances, we process information because it is necessary to take steps at your request or perform our contract with you, comply with a legal obligation, pursue legitimate interests in operating and protecting the firm, or because you have given consent. Where special-category information is required for legal work, we process it where necessary for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims or under another applicable legal condition.

Who we may share information with

Where necessary and lawful, information may be shared with courts and tribunals, government departments, barristers, experts, interpreters, medical professionals, other solicitors, insurers, auditors, regulators, professional advisers, identity-verification providers, IT and secure storage suppliers. We do not sell personal information.

International transfers

If information must be sent outside the United Kingdom for your matter or through a service provider, we will use an appropriate legal safeguard where required.

How long we retain information

We retain enquiry and client information only for as long as reasonably necessary for legal, regulatory, insurance and business purposes. The applicable retention period will depend on the nature of the matter and will be explained in our client documentation where appropriate.

Your rights

Subject to legal restrictions and professional duties, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or restriction of your information, object to certain processing, request transfer of information, or withdraw consent. Legal professional privilege and statutory retention duties may limit these rights.

Complaints about data use

Please contact us first so that we can investigate. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Website enquiries

Please do not send highly sensitive original documents through a general website enquiry form. Sending an enquiry does not by itself create a solicitor-client relationship. We will confirm separately if we are able to act.

Updates

We may update this policy when our practices or legal obligations change. Last reviewed: August 2026.
