Before you write

Time limits apply

Most claims must be brought within a fixed period, and a claim brought late is usually lost however strong it is. If something has already happened, it is better to ask early than to wait.

Do not send documents yet

Before the Firm can act, it must carry out a conflict check. Tell us the names of the parties and the outline of the matter; keep the documents until we have confirmed we can take it on.

Enquiries

Set out what happened and when, in your own words, together with the names of the other parties involved.
