Alternative complaints bodies exist which are competent to deal with complaints about legal services in circumstances where we agree with you to use such a scheme. Details of these bodies can be found at the European Commission’s online dispute resolution website: ec.europa.eu/odr

Bribery and Corruption

We have a zero tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and are committed to conducting business according to high standards of integrity.

Financial Services

We are not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. However, we are included on the register maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority so that we can carry on insurance mediation activity, which is broadly the advising on, selling and administration of insurance contracts. This part of our business, including arrangements for complaints or redress if something goes wrong, is regulated by Solicitors Regulation Authority. The register can be accessed via the Financial Conduct Authority website at www.fca.org.uk/register

The provision of our legal services may also involve other regulated activities in relation to investments within the meaning of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Although we are not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Act for those regulated activities, we may undertake activities such as arranging and advising which are incidental to our legal services or which may reasonably be regarded as a necessary part of our legal services. In doing so we are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We cannot provide advice on the merits of financial products but can assist you to execute decisions which you may have made in relation to financial products.

Hoax Emails

Please be aware that the legal services sector is currently being targeted by cyber criminals and fraudsters. These criminals sometimes masquerade as legitimate law firms and send fraudulent correspondence. Please note that ALL Aspen Morris email addresses end with @aspenmorris.com so we ask you to be vigilant if you receive an email in any other format or if you receive any other communication claiming to be from Aspen Morris or any of our partners or employees which you regard as suspicious. It is important that you do not reply to the email or act on any information contained in it.

One of the current scams in circulation is where clients are tricked into sending monies into a fraudsters account. With this in mind, please be aware that we do not send notifications of changes to our bank details by email.
