Our Commitment to Service Quality
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. Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.
Service Quality/Complaints
If any difficulty or unhappiness should arise relating to any aspect of the matter or about our bill you should in the first instance raise this with the person who is stated to have responsibility for the matter in our client care letter. If that person fails to resolve matters in a satisfactory manner then you should address your comments to Ms Tanya Shapoval (email: T.Shapoval@connaughtlaw.com) who thereafter will respond to your concerns.
Our Formal Complaints Procedure
A copy of our formal complaints procedure will be made available to you on request. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of our complaints procedure you may refer your concerns to the Legal Ombudsman at PO Box 6167, Slough SL1 0EH (email: Enquiries@legalombudsman.Org.uk). The Legal Ombudsman Scheme has mandatory time limits for accepting a complaint: are six years from the date of act/omission or three years from when the complainant should have known there was cause for complaint.
In any event, you must make your complaint to the Ombudsman within six months of receiving our final response. We will inform you when our internal complaints process has been concluded.

What To Do If We Cannot Resolve Your Complaint
The Legal Ombudsman 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 Contacting the Legal Ombudsman
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 six months of receiving a final response to your complaint, and
- No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
- No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint
If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
