Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions apply to your use of our site. Please read them carefully. By accessing or using our online platform, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. About our site

Our site provides information about legal advice and representation across areas including property law, family law, criminal defence, and wills and probate. It is intended to help potential clients learn about our services and make enquiries.

2. Website information is not legal advice

Information on our site is for general information only. It is not legal advice, should not be treated as a substitute for advice on your particular circumstances, and does not create a solicitor-client relationship. Laws and procedures can change, and the information may not reflect the latest position or apply to your situation.

Do not take or refrain from taking action based solely on information published on our site. Obtain advice from a suitably qualified legal professional about your circumstances.

3. Enquiries and instructions

Sending an enquiry through our site does not mean that we have agreed to act for you. We will only accept instructions after completing any required checks, considering whether we are able to act, and confirming the scope and terms of our engagement. Those terms may include the work to be undertaken, fees, and other relevant conditions.

Do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-critical information through the site unless we have confirmed that we can receive it safely and have agreed to act. Until an engagement is confirmed, you remain responsible for protecting your interests and meeting any legal deadlines.

4. Legal services and outcomes

The availability and suitability of legal services depend on the circumstances of each matter, our capacity, and any applicable professional or legal requirements. No information on our site guarantees that we will take on a matter or that any particular result will be achieved. Legal outcomes depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law, and decisions made by courts, authorities, or other parties.

5. Your responsibilities

When using our site, you agree to:

  • use it only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe another person’s rights;
  • not attempt to damage, disrupt, gain unauthorised access to, or interfere with the site or its systems; and
  • ensure that information you provide in an enquiry is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

6. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the content and materials on our site are owned by us or used with permission and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute, adapt, or commercially exploit site content without prior permission, except where the law allows.

7. Third-party websites

Our site may contain links to third-party websites for convenience or information. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. A link does not imply endorsement. You access third-party websites at your own risk and should review their terms and privacy information.

8. Availability and liability

We aim to keep our site available and its information accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, completeness, or freedom from errors. We may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of the site without notice.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to that, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or reliance on its general information. Any liability relating to legal work we agree to undertake will be governed by the terms of that engagement.

9. Privacy

Our handling of personal information is explained in our privacy information, which should be read alongside these terms. Please avoid including confidential or sensitive personal information in a general website enquiry.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on our site applies when you use it. Please review this page periodically to check for changes.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction over disputes relating to them, subject to any mandatory legal rights that apply.
