The LN Group is committed to conducting business according to high standards of business integrity. We have a zero-tolerance policy in respect of bribery and corruption. We require those with whom we have business relationships to have and maintain a like policy and appropriate procedures for combating bribery and corruption.

Conflict of interest is an essential area of policy for a firm of solicitors and consultants 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.

We are aware that criminals have been using the LN name and sometimes the names of individuals working within our organisation in scam emails, letters and phone calls. These communications typically suggest that an inheritance or a job can be obtained by paying an upfront fee. Their aim is to get your money and/or your personal data to use in other illegal activities.

Please do act cautiously for your own protection. If you receive any communication purporting to be from LN or any of our partners or employees about which you are uncertain or suspicious, do not respond and particularly do not provide any personal or confidential information. You can check the legitimacy of any suspicious communication by forwarding it to us at legal@leighton-nielsen.com. We do not and will never in any circumstance, use web-based email addresses such as Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo or AOL to communicate with or request any kind of information from you.

Please note that this firm, its lawyers, consultants or any employee have no involvement in any of these scams. Our name is being used in an unauthorised and illegal way.

We report incidents of which we become aware to the relevant authorities. There are, however, new scams being devised by criminals regularly.

Leighton-Nielsen is committed to high quality advice on business matters and excellent client care. If you are unhappy about any aspect of the service you have received, or are concerned about the bill, please contact your client relationship partner, the relevant managing partner or the office managing partner.

If you wish to make a formal complaint, please contact our designated complaints handler at legal@leighton-nielsen.com, or by post to any of our London addresses. The designated complaints handler will assist you to the best of his/her ability in resolving the problem and we hope that it can be addressed to your satisfaction.
