What we collect

We may collect the following personal data:

• Contact details such as your name, email address, telephone number and organisation.
• Information you give us about your matter, including documents and correspondence.
• Identity and verification documents required for anti-money laundering checks.
• Billing and payment details.
• Basic technical information about visits to this website, described below.

How we use it and our lawful basis

We use personal data to:

• Respond to enquiries and provide legal services (performance of a contract, or steps before entering one).
• Carry out client due diligence and meet our regulatory obligations (legal obligation).
• Manage our business, keep records and improve our services (legitimate interests).
• Send updates you have asked for (consent, which you can withdraw at any time).

Special category data

Some matters involve sensitive information, such as health or criminal records. We only use it where needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or where another lawful condition applies.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal data. We may share it with barristers, experts and other advisers on your matter, identity verification providers, our IT and hosting suppliers, our insurers and auditors, the SRA and other regulators, and courts or authorities where the law requires.

Website analytics

Our website uses Lovable's visitor analytics. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not keep IP addresses and does not identify visitors. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable's privacy policy (https://lovable.dev/privacy) explains how it handles it.

It records the pages visited, where visitors came from, their country, browser, operating system and device type, how long they stay, how fast pages load, errors and which buttons and links are clicked. This is recorded for every visitor. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year.

Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google's servers and Google receives your IP address. Our hero videos and images are delivered from our hosting provider's servers.

Our enquiry form does not send data to us directly. It opens your own email program with a pre-filled message, which you choose whether to send.

International transfers

Some suppliers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement.

How long we keep it

We normally keep client files for at least six years after a matter ends, and longer where the law or the nature of the matter requires. Enquiries that do not become matters are kept for up to 12 months.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or erase your data, to restrict or object to its use, to data portability and to withdraw consent. Some rights are limited where legal professional privilege or our legal obligations apply. To use them, email us. We will reply within one month.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Last updated: 12 November 2026.
