Our Commitment

Bridgefield Legal is committed to conducting its business ethically, responsibly and with respect for human rights. We oppose all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude and exploitation.

Given the size and nature of our business, we consider the risk of modern slavery within our own operations to be low. However, we remain mindful of indirect risks that may affect clients, service users and third parties.

This includes understanding:

To help us investigate your complaint, please provide:

• Your full name and contact details;

• Your reference number (if known);

• A clear explanation of your concerns;

• Relevant dates; and

• Copies of any supporting documents or correspondence.

If you require assistance in making a complaint because of language difficulties, disability or other circumstances, please let us know. We will endeavour to provide appropriate support where reasonably practicable.

How We Handle Complaints

As Bridgefield Legal is a small consultancy practice, complaints will normally be handled by the consultant responsible for your matter.

Step 1 – Acknowledgement

We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within five working days.

Step 2 – Investigation

We will conduct a fair and impartial review of the issues raised. This may include:

• Reviewing your file;

• Examining relevant documents and correspondence;

• Considering information provided by you; and

• Reviewing actions taken in relation to your matter.

Step 3 – Response

We aim to provide a full written response within 20 working days of receiving your complaint.

Where additional time is required due to the complexity of the complaint, we will explain the reason and provide an updated timescale.

Step 4 – Resolution

Where appropriate, we will:

• Explain our findings;

• Apologise where mistakes have been identified;

• Outline any corrective action being taken; and

• Consider reasonable proposals for resolving the complaint.

Complaints Register

Bridgefield Legal maintains a complaints register in which complaints are recorded, monitored and reviewed.

Complaint records are retained securely and handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including:

• UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR); and

• Data Protection Act 2018.

If You Are Not Satisfied With Our Response

If you remain dissatisfied after receiving our final response, you may wish to seek independent advice regarding your rights and any further action that may be available to you.

Where appropriate, you may also have access to alternative dispute resolution procedures, legal remedies or other complaint mechanisms relevant to your circumstances.

Continuous Improvement

Bridgefield Legal values client feedback and uses complaints as an opportunity to improve services, procedures and client care standards.

We regularly review complaints to identify lessons learned and, where appropriate, make improvements to our processes and service delivery.

Where reasonably practicable, we will seek to:

• Communicate in a clear and accessible manner;

• Consider individual communication needs;

• Provide additional support to vulnerable individuals.
