1. About these terms
These terms govern your use of this website and the legal advice, representation and advocacy services offered by Sterling Legal Centre ("we", "us"). By using the site you accept these terms.
This is placeholder wording provided as a starting point. It should be reviewed and finalised before the site goes live.
2. Nature of our service
We are a community-rooted legal practice providing legal advice, representation and advocacy. We are regulated legal professionals and maintain appropriate professional indemnity insurance.
The information on this website is of a general nature. It is not a substitute for advice tailored to your individual circumstances. A solicitor-client, barrister-client or adviser-client relationship is only created once we have confirmed we can act for you in writing.
3. Your responsibilities
You remain responsible for giving us accurate and complete information, attending appointments, and meeting any deadlines that apply to your matter. Missing a deadline can affect your rights.
If you are unsure about a deadline, contact us immediately and also seek urgent advice from a regulated adviser.
4. Accuracy of information
We take care to keep information current and accurate, but the law changes and general website information cannot cover every situation.
To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for loss arising from reliance on information published on this site without taking advice from us directly.
5. Confidentiality and data protection
We handle personal information in line with UK data protection law and our professional obligations. We keep records of enquiries and cases so we can advise you consistently.
We will not share your information without your consent, except where required by law, by court order, or where there is a serious risk of harm.
6. Website use
You may view and print pages of this site for personal, non-commercial use. All content remains our property or that of our licensors.
You agree not to use the site in a way that disrupts it, or to attempt unauthorised access to any part of it.
7. Third-party links
We may link to other organisations. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of external websites.
8. Complaints
If you are unhappy with our service, please contact us at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your complaint and set out how it will be handled in line with our complaints procedure.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page applies to your use of the site.
