Complaints
Research released by the SRA shows that 88% of clients are happy with the service they receive from their solicitor. More recent data released by the SRA on 9 July 2019 suggests that law firms are getting better at resolving complaints and most clients say they are happy with the quality of service received from firms (88%)
However, sometimes things do go wrong and it is then that you will receive a complaint. No one likes to receive a complaint about the service they have provided, but this is one regulatory risk that must be managed effectively. It is very difficult to be objective when your work is being complained about. Complaints can be time consuming, taking you away from the important client matters that are, after all, the life blood of your firm.
We offer complaint resolution services that are tailored to your particular needs that include:
-
One off complaint handling
-
Ad hoc advice about a particular issue
