We do not give advice on the merits of investment transactions, and nothing we say or do should be construed as an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority of England and Wales provides complaints and redress mechanisms which are available to clients if we are not able to resolve the complaint ourselves.
