Why we process it

We may process data to provide legal services, conduct client onboarding and required due diligence, communicate and manage matters, meet legal or regulatory duties, administer billing and protect legitimate professional interests. The applicable legal basis may include consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation or legitimate interests.

Confidentiality, sharing and retention

Client information is handled in strict confidence and, where applicable, protected by advocate–client privilege. We may share information with courts, tribunals, regulators, financial institutions, professional advisers or service providers where this is necessary and lawful. We do not sell personal data.

Client care & fee transparency

What clients can expect from us.

We are committed to practical, commercially sound legal services delivered with professionalism, integrity and responsiveness. We maintain confidentiality, communicate material developments clearly and use secure systems to support efficient service delivery.

Scope and communication

Before work begins, we aim to define the scope of the engagement, identify the responsible advocate, record relevant assumptions or limitations and issue an engagement letter. During the matter, we provide proportionate updates, explain legal issues in accessible language and notify clients of material developments or risks.

How fees are structured

Fees are determined in accordance with the Advocates Act, the Advocates Remuneration Order and applicable professional standards. Depending on the instruction, arrangements may include fixed fees for defined work, hourly rates, transaction-based fees or retainers for continuing advice.

Estimates, disbursements and billing

Where practicable, we provide an indicative estimate at the outset and explain significant changes. An estimate may change if the scope or complexity changes. Clients are responsible for agreed disbursements such as filing fees, stamp duty, registration fees and third-party professional charges. Invoice timing, payment terms, deposits and any permitted interest on overdue amounts are set out in the engagement terms.

Conflicts, files and termination

We maintain procedures to identify and manage conflicts of interest. We retain secure records for periods required by law, regulation and risk-management considerations. Either party may terminate an engagement in accordance with the engagement letter, subject to outstanding fees and applicable professional duties.
