Feedback & Complaints

Feedback

We aim to provide legal services of the highest standard. Do feel free to contact the clerks or the barristers in your case with any feedback you may have.

Complaints

We would hope that you will never have ground for complaint. However, in the event that you or the lay client are not satisfied with the services provided by Chambers or Counsel, you should first refer your complaint to Chambers in line with Chambers’ Complaints Procedure or contact our Deputy Senior Clerk, Richard Sheehan.

You also have a right to complain to the Legal Ombudsman. You must complain to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint from Chambers (provided the response specifically notifies you of your right to complain to the Ombudsman and of the six-month time limit). Alternatively, you are also entitled to complain directly to the Legal Ombudsman if we fail to deal with your complaint within eight weeks.

A complaint to the Ombudsman must also be made not more than six years after the act or omission complained about or not more than three years from the date when you should reasonably have known that there were grounds for complaint.

Legal Ombudsman

The decision data on the Legal Ombudsman’s website shows providers which received an ombudsman’s decision in the previous 12 months. In each case, the data shows whether the Legal Ombudsman required the provider to give the consumer a remedy.
