Contacting our firm

We are very approachable. We are always happy to provide no-obligation quotes.

If you wish, we can arrange an initial fixed fee meeting.

For litigation matters, we will assist with any claims for cover under legal expense insurance policies – which generally need to be supported by a favourable opinion from Counsel. It may be challenging to secure cover under legal expense insurance policies but, once proceedings have been issued, policyholders have a statutory right of choice of their solicitors to represent them under the policy.

We can also see our clients at our offices in Central London at 32 Bloomsbury Street, near Tottenham Court Road Underground Station, in North London close to Finchley Central Underground Station and at our office in Hatfield – opposite the mainline station Hertfordshire AL9. There are no parking issues at our North London or Hatfield offices.
