Maintaining the Level of Service
We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy with the service we have provided to you or you have concerns about an invoice then you should inform us immediately so that we can do our best to resolve the problem for you.
In the first instance please contact the partner responsible for the handling of your case. If that does not resolve your concern or you consider that is inappropriate we also operate a formal complaints handling procedure and Mr Patrick Battersby is the partner appointed to deal with complaints. Please use email p.battersby@daviesbattersby.com or contact us by letter at our postal address marked for his attention and with the file name and “Complaint” in the message.
A copy of the firm’s written complaints handling procedure is also available upon request. In the event that you do have any concerns, we would ask you to raise them with us as soon as possible so that they can be dealt with promptly.
We have eight weeks to consider your complaint. If we are unable to help you, then you can have the complaint independently looked at by the Legal Ombudsman.
The Legal Ombudsman can investigate your complaint within either (i) one year of the problem occurring or (ii) one year from when you found out about it. If you wish to refer your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman this must be done within six months of our final response to your complaint. If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman their contact details are as follows:
