Tilly Bailey & Irvine LLP is committed to providing to all clients an efficient and effective service at all times. We hope that you will be pleased with the work that we do and the results we achieve. However, should there be any aspect of our service or our charges with which you are unhappy then we would like you to tell us about it so that we can work with you to resolve it.
If you have a complaint, please contact the person who is dealing with your matter, either in writing or by telephone. To help us to understand your complaint, please tell us what you think we have got wrong and what we can do to put things right for you. The person who is dealing with the matter will try to resolve your complaint straight away.
If you cannot resolve the complaint with the person dealing with your matter, or if you would prefer not to speak to that person about your complaint, then you may raise it with the Head of the Department within which your matter is being dealt with. The Head of the Department will investigate your complaint and provide you with a response. If you remain dissatisfied then you can ask for your complaint to be referred to Nigel Broadbent, who is the Partner ultimately responsible for Client Care, for a final determination.
We will endeavour to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible, and in no more than eight weeks in any event.
If, at the conclusion of our complaints process, you are not satisfied with our determination of your complaint then you can refer your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman. Normally you will need to refer a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of receiving our final written response to your complaint, or within one year of the problem occurring (or, if outside this period, within one year of when you found out about it). The contact details for the Legal Ombudsman are as follows:
