Access to our website is permitted on a temporary basis and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide on our website without notice.  We will not be liable if for any reason our website is unavailable at any time or for any period.

Any social media accounts we have are managed by the marketing team.  Social media does not replace our other contact processes.  This practice does not accept service of any documents via social media.

We do not use any automation to post content on Twitter.  Please note that we do not automatically follow back new followers, and being followed by us on Twitter, does not imply endorsement of any kind.

Security

We endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information but cannot guarantee the security of any data you disclose online.  Please note that email is not a secure medium and should not be used to send confidential or sensitive information.  You accept the inherent security risks of providing information and dealing online over the internet and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security unless this is due to our negligence or wilful default.

Client Satisfaction

We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service we have provided then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.

In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues at this stage. If you would like to make a formal complaint, please contact our complaints handler Marie Walsh, Consilia Legal Leeds Limited, 4 Park Place, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 2RU.  Telephone 0113 322 9222.  Email marie@consilialegal.co.uk for a copy of our complaints policy and procedure. Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority can help you if you are concerned about our behaviour. This could be for things like dishonesty, taking or losing your money or treating you unfairly because of your age, a disability or other characteristic.  You can raise your concerns with the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

What do to if we cannot resolve your complaint

The Legal Ombudsman investigates complaints about service issues with lawyers and can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. 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, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:

• within one year of the date of the act or omission about which you are concerned;

or

• within one year of you realising there was a concern
• You must also refer your concerns to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of our final response to you.

If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
