Legal help for older and vulnerable clients

We appreciate that it is especially important to treat elderly and/or vulnerable clients with additional consideration by being both sympathetic and sensitive to any issues they may have and ensuring that we treat all clients with dignity, kindness and respect.

Due to the nature of the advice that we may need to give, it is important that we can see you alone initially. However, we appreciate that some clients may prefer to have a trusted friend or relative present, so we will try to accommodate this where we can, dependent on the type of legal matter and the scope of any sensitive issues that may last. During the process, we will need the opportunity to see you alone, but we will do our utmost to make sure that you feel at ease and understand why this is necessary.

Where English is not your first language, or if you have difficulty with hearing or sight, we suggest that an appropriate independent interpreter assist.

Where legal terminology is necessary, we explain it carefully to you, and we will not proceed until we are sure that you understand.

We will take steps to make ourselves aware of any potential capacity or physical limitations such as mobility, continence, hearing or visual impairment. These matters are always taken into account when meeting and communicating with vulnerable clients.

Correspondence and documentation can be produced in large print or read to the client by a member of our staff if necessary.

In all cases, the pace and duration of each meeting is aligned to your needs.

Where appropriate, we will offer to visit you at home. However, if you visit our office, we will let you know what accessible parking facilities and access are available and ensure that toilet facilities are readily accessible.

We ask that any person signing in the capacity of attorney for our client should also produce proof of ID for identity verification purposes.

We make sure to record all relevant facts in our meeting attendance notes.
