    Complaints Procedure

    Cook Corporate Limited T/A Cook Corporate Solicitors 

    8 July 2024

    If you are a client and feel you have a complaint about this firm please follow this procedure:

     

    1. At first instance please raise your issue with the fee earner who is dealing with your file.
    2. If you are unable to resolve the issue with the fee earner who is dealing with your file, please submit your complaint in writing to Charles Cook who is the managing partner. His full details can be found on our website. He will respond within 14 days of receiving your complaint.
    3. If you are dissatisfied with the Managing Partner’s findings you may appear against his decision in writing to Roger Lane-Smith who is our Chairman. His full details can be found on our website. He will respond within 14 days of receiving your complaint.
    4. If you are still dissatisfied following the Chairman’s response you may make a complaint to The Legal Ombudsmen at enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk or by phone on 0300 555 0333 and 0I2I 245 3050. The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.

    Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:

    • Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint and
    • No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
    • No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
    1. While the Legal Ombudsman concerns itself with issues of poor service or costs related issues, the SRA is available should you consider either an individual solicitor or the firm may have breached the SRA Principles.  If you wish to report any matter directly to the SRA, please visit the SRA website by following this link: https://www.sra.org.uk/
