Why we use information
We may use personal information to:
- —respond to an enquiry;
- —identify the parties and check for conflicts;
- —decide whether we can offer a service;
- —take steps requested before entering a contract;
- —provide an agreed service;
- —administer fees and records;

Information may be shared where necessary with service providers supporting email, document storage, website hosting, security, administration and accounting; with courts, Tribunals, opponents, witnesses or experts as required for an accepted matter; with professional advisers; or where disclosure is required by law.
We don’t sell personal information.
Retention and security
Personal information and uploaded documents are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which they were collected, and to meet applicable legal, regulatory, accounting and record-keeping requirements. Once information is no longer needed, it is deleted or securely destroyed unless it must be kept for a longer period to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
