Terms and Conditions of Business
These Terms and Conditions of Business, as may be amended from time to time, and our final offer letter/retainer will together set out the basis on which our services are provided and the basis upon which our fees are charged.
To the extent permitted by law our total liability to you in connection with any matter (or series of related matters) will be limited to one thousand pounds sterling (GBP 1,000.00). Liability for any consequential or indirect loss (whether or not it might have been foreseeable at the commencement of the matter) is excluded. We shall not be liable to you in relation to the failure of any bank in which client monies are deposited or in respect of any failure by our bank to remit moneys to a third party in your transaction sent in good time by us to complete a transaction by a particular contractual cut off time.
In signing our offer or retainer documents you accept that we are a limited liability partnership (“LLP”) and, as such, we have an interest in limiting the personal liability and exposure to litigation of our members and employees. You therefore also agree that, should you need to make a claim (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) against us in relation to any piece of work we undertake on your behalf, you will not bring any claim personally against any individual employee or member, but will only make any claim against us as an LLP. If you are a public international organisation (United Nations, multi-lateral development banks, etc.), or an individual, company or firm claiming against such an organisation, you agree by signature that any contract between us is not subject to any national court, tribunal or other adjudicating body, but disputes are dealt with in accordance with relevant international instruments (e.g., the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, 1946).
Under the principle of force majeure we shall bear no liability for loss, damage, delay howsoever arising caused by circumstances outside our control. We also bear no liability for your actions, or actions of third parties we cannot control.
Current partners are:
David Mitchels, LLB, Barrister
