We have an inhouse policy for client care which includes our commitment to provide services to clients in an appropriate manner.

Our Terms of Business are supplied at the start of your instruction to act for you, along with information on how our charges are calculated and give you our best estimate of the likely overall costs and the time the work is expected to take.
