3. How and why we use your information

We use your information to respond to enquiries, assess whether we can assist you, provide legal services where instructed, manage our relationship with you, maintain records, protect the security of the website and meet our legal and professional obligations.

Depending on the circumstances, our lawful basis under the UK GDPR may be:

  • Contract: to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to provide services under a contract.
  • Legal obligation: to comply with obligations that apply to our practice.
  • Legitimate interests: to respond to enquiries, administer our business, maintain appropriate records and keep the website secure, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Where a matter involves sensitive personal information or information about criminal allegations or convictions, we will identify and apply any additional legal condition required to process it. Where we rely on consent for a particular activity, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

4. Who we share information with

We may share information where necessary with service providers that support our website, email and business systems; professional advisers; and relevant authorities, courts or other parties involved in your legal matter. We may also disclose information where required by law.

We require service providers handling personal information on our behalf to protect it appropriately. We do not sell your personal information.

6. Keeping information secure and transfers abroad

We take appropriate steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss and misuse. No method of sending information over the internet is completely secure.

Some of our service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we will use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism where one is required.

7. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, ask us to correct or erase it, restrict or object to its use, or receive a copy in a portable format. These rights are subject to legal exceptions, including obligations that may apply to legal files.

To make a request, contact us using the details in section 1. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern first.

Our website may use strictly necessary cookies to support functions such as security, form operation or remembering your cookie preferences. We may also use analytics, embedded content and advertising cookies.

You can manage optional cookies through cookie settings control. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings, although this may affect how parts of the website work.

Where consent is required, optional cookies should be held back until the visitor chooses to accept them. Visitors should be able to change their choice. The ICO requires websites to explain what their cookies do and, subject to exceptions, obtain valid consent. ICO
