Complaints Policy
Complaints Policy
Pure Ideas is committed to ensuring timely and proper regard for standards of professional service and client care. If we fail in this aspect, we ask you to tell us so that we may investigate the matter and provide solutions as appropriate.
How to complain
You may contact any of our senior management team at any point. In the first instance, we recommend you direct your concern to our Head of Legal Practice at holp@pure-ideas.co.uk or at the registered company address shown.
Conduct of the complaint
We will write to confirm receipt of your complaint within 10 days, enclosing a copy of this policy.
Our Head of Legal Practice will add your complaint to our internal register and begin investigation of the matter. They may need to review relevant files, interview the person(s) involved in the matter and seek further clarity from you via phone or meeting.
Our Head of Legal Practice will then write to you within 21 days to report their findings, making suggestions for resolution.
Internal review
If you are still not satisfied, please let us know and we will arrange a review of our decision by an independent senior member of the management team (i.e., not the individual who first investigated your matter). This will be undertaken within 21 days and will allow us to confirm our final position and the reasons involved.
External review
If you are still not satisfied, you may be able to refer your complaint to The Legal Ombudsman, note that certain time limits apply. Individual clients, micro-enterprises, charities, clubs or trusts may approach The Legal Ombudsman at: 0300 555 0333
