Last Updated: 24 February 2022
Throughout the pandemic, our primary concern has been the safety of our staff and clients. Although it is encouraging that most of the restrictions have been lifted, we remain cautious and would ask that, despite the change in the law, you do not come into the office if you have tested positive for covid or if you are suffering from any symptoms. If you have an appointment, we will be able to conduct the meeting remotely and the progress of your matter should not be affected. We thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
How we are supporting you
We are keeping the situation under regular review by following Government guidance together with advice from the Health & Safety Executive and the Law Society. We have taken the necessary steps to ensure our offices are Covid-19 secure and can now offer meetings within our offices if required. You will find contact numbers for all members of staff under the “expert section” of our website. Alternatively, please call our main general number on 01202 525333.
