At Marlborough Law we aim to provide the highest standard of legal service to every client. However, there may be instances where this is not achieved.

We shall consider any complaint carefully and objectively, in our efforts to resolve the issues.

WHAT WE WILL DO?

First stage

• If you want to raise a complaint, please raise them with the lawyer dealing with your matter.
• If you do not wish the lawyer to deal with the complaint, or they have not addressed all your concerns to your satisfaction, you should raise your concerns with their supervisor. Their supervisor’s name will be mentioned in our engagement letter to you, sent at the beginning of your case or transaction.
• If your complaint cannot be addressed at this point, it goes to the second state.

Second stage

• You can progress your complaint to Marlborough Law’s compliance officer, Alex Atkins (alex.atkins@marlborough-law.com) address:

• We will respond to you with the result of our investigation via email or letter.
