This document sets out the details of our complaints procedure for clients. Clients may also contact the Legal Ombudsman Service, an independent body which deals with complaints about lawyers. However, they will only investigate a matter after it has been investigated by Chambers. We therefore encourage you to contact us in the first instance so that we have an opportunity to resolve the matter.

In addition, you are entitled to bring your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman if you have not received an outcome from Chambers within eight weeks of your written complaint.

In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to investigate complaints referred to us by individuals who are not clients and this will depend on the circumstances. In general, those who not clients should contact the Bar Standards Board (BSB) details of which are at the end of this document.

As recommended by the Bar Standards Board (BSB), the 4 New Square Chambers Complaints Procedure follows the procedure of the Legal Ombudsman.
