Complaints Policy

We aim to offer all our clients an efficient and effective service, and we are confident that we will do so in this case. However, if you would like to discuss how the service to you could be improved or should there be any aspect of our service with which you are not satisfied, please raise the matter with me. If you would like to make a formal complaint, please contact in writing setting out your complaint as best you to Mashooque Ali Jatoi who is a Registered Foreign Lawyer and partner of the firm. 

                       

Details of the firm’s policy on complaints are contained in section 12 of the attached terms and conditions. However, we also have a complaint handling policy which can be made available to you on request.
