How Enquiries and Personal Data Are Handled
We collect what you send us in an enquiry and nothing more. It is used to answer you and, if you become a client, to run your matter. We do not sell it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not share it except where the law requires or you instruct us to.
What we collect
- From the enquiry form
- The name, contact details and description of the situation that you choose to give.
- From messaging apps
- Whatever you send, plus the account identifier the platform shows us.
- Automatically
- Standard server and security logs. We do not build advertising profiles.
Why we hold it
To reply to your enquiry, to assess whether there is anything we can run, and — if we are instructed — to conduct the matter. Enquiries that do not become instructions are kept only while there is a reason to keep them.
Who sees it
The lawyers of this practice and the staff supporting them. Where a matter needs counsel admitted in another jurisdiction, we share only what that work requires, and we tell you first. Messaging platforms process what you send them under their own terms.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, and ask for it to be deleted where there is no legal or professional reason to keep it. Write to the address on the contact page.
Confidentiality
Communications with lawyers about a legal matter are confidential and, in most jurisdictions, privileged. That protection is stronger than any privacy policy, and it is the reason we prefer encrypted channels when a matter is sensitive.
