The firm is committed to providing a good-quality legal service and to dealing with all clients fairly. The firm acknowledge that there may be instances where clients are not satisfied. The firm will try to resolve any concerns clients have.
Clients can contact the firm’s Commercial Director via email (joseph.mullis@caldermullis.co.uk) to make their complaint. To help the firm understand the client’s complaint please can the client provide:
The firm will write to the client within three working days acknowledging their complaint, enclosing a copy of this policy. The firm will then investigate your complaint. This will usually involve:
The firm will update the client on the progress of their complaint at appropriate times. The firm may also, if appropriate, invite the client to a meeting to discuss their complaint. The client does not have to attend if they do not wish to and or are unable to. The firm will be happy to discuss the matter with the client via a phone call.
The firm will write to the client at the end of its investigation to tell them what it has done and what it proposes to do to resolve the complaint. Where possible, the firm will aim to do this within twenty-one days of the date of the letter of acknowledgement. The firm will notify you if the findings are going to take longer than twenty-one days. Please note on complex matters findings may take up to eight weeks.
The firm will also record the complaint centrally so that it can continuously improve its service.
If a client remains unhappy with the outcome of the complaints handling procedure please first let the firm know so an independent Director can review the matter. The independent Director will aim to complete the review within fourteen days.
If the client is still unhappy they can ask the Legal Ombudsman to review their complaint. They can contact the Legal Ombudsman by:
It is important to note that the Legal Ombudsman has their own time limits. They will review complaints:
if the complaint is made within one year of the problem occurring; or
the complaint is made within one year of the client finding out about an issue.
In either case the complaint must be made within six months of our final response which we aim to provide promptly. Further details are available on the website: www.legalombudsman.org.uk.
Alternative complaints bodies (such as: Small Claims Mediation) exist which deal with complaints about legal services should both the client and this firm wish to use such a scheme.
If the firm is unable to resolve the complaint, and it relates to a contract we entered into online or by other electronic means, the client may also be able to submit their complaint to an approved alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider in the UK.
The ODR platform is an interactive website offering a single point of entry for disputes between consumers and traders relating to online contracts. The ODR platform is available to consumer clients only, i.e. where the client has instructed us for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession.
The firm will not charge a client for handling their complaint. The Legal Ombudsman service is free of charge. The ODR platform itself is free to use, but the ADR entity to which the complaint is transmitted may charge for its service. The ADR entity is responsible for informing all parties of the cost of its dispute resolution procedure.
