Conflict of interest is an essential area of policy for a firm of solicitors having a broad base of clients. Accordingly, we operate a comprehensive regime to ensure, insofar as possible, any potential conflicts of interest are identified and resolved at the earliest opportunity. This involves both a database search of existing clients, current matters and other relevant information held by the firm, and where appropriate, a targeted enquiry.
We are also sensitive to situations which, although in legal terms, may not create a conflict of interest, are seen by clients to be a “commercial” conflict and we are willing to discuss with clients any particular concerns in this respect.
