Complaints Handling Procedure
Information About Our Complaints Process
We endeavour to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service you have been provided with, then you should inform us immediately so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.
In the first instance, it will be helpful for you to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns. We will do our best to resolve any issues at this stage. If however you feel you need to make a formal complaint, then please contact our Complaints Partner Greg Cloke by email at greg.cloke@bhrlaw.co.uk or telephone 01271 340669.
You can read our full complaints procedure here. Please note, making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.
What To Do If We Cannot Resolve Your Complaint
Once we have completed our complaints investigation, if you are not satisfied with the outcome then you can refer the matter to the Legal Ombudsman. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.
Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have been through our complaints process, then you can take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman. Please note however, that you must take your complaint to them within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint.
If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman please contact them:
Visit: www.legalombudsman.org.uk
Call: 0300 555 0333 between 9am to 5pm.

The time limits for referring a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman will be not later than:
- 1 year from the date of the act or omission being complained about; or
- 1 year from the date when the complainant should have realised that there was cause for complaint.
This is subject to the fact that the Legal Ombudsman has a discretion to extend the one year time limit for specific customers if, on the evidence, it is fair and reasonable to do so.
