Information we collect
When you enquire, we ask for your name, email, telephone number, practice area, urgency, a brief description and preferred contact method. We record your acknowledgement of the £325 + VAT paid initial consultation and permission to contact you about the enquiry. The form can also send the page address, referring website origin and campaign labels in the page URL.
If you instruct us, we may need identity and verification documents, financial information, correspondence and information relevant to your matter. Some matters may involve health information, other sensitive personal information or information about criminal allegations. Please avoid sending detailed confidential or sensitive documents in the initial form.
Why we use information and our legal bases
- To assess and respond to an enquiry and take steps requested before a retainer: steps towards a contract and our legitimate interests in managing enquiries, as applicable.
- To deliver agreed legal services: performance of our contract, legal obligations and legitimate interests in providing and administering legal services, as applicable.
- To carry out identity, conflict, regulatory and anti-money-laundering checks: legal obligations and legitimate interests, where applicable.
- To manage records, security, complaints and legal claims: legal obligations and legitimate interests, as appropriate.
Where special category or criminal offence information is processed, an additional lawful condition and any required safeguards must apply. We do not treat the enquiry checkbox as blanket consent for every subsequent use of information.
Where information comes from and who receives it
Information may come from you, someone you authorise, another party, publicly available records or professional advisers involved in your matter. Depending on the work, recipients may include courts, barristers, experts, other solicitors, regulators and verification providers.
Hosting, email, case management and other service providers may process information on our behalf under appropriate arrangements.
International transfers
If information is transferred outside the UK, the safeguards required by law apply. Contact us for information about relevant safeguards.
How long we keep information
Information is kept only as long as needed for the relevant purpose, including applicable legal, regulatory and claims requirements.
Your rights
Subject to applicable conditions and exemptions, you may ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability or object to processing, including processing based on legitimate interests. Where consent is the basis, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. Legal duties and professional confidentiality may limit some rights.
