CONFIDENTIALITY

Information passed to us will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties except as authorised by you or required by law. If, on your authority, we are working in conjunction with other professional advisers we will assume that we may disclose any relevant aspect of your affairs to them. We will keep the data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

On completion of the matter and payment of our fees we will return to you any documents provided to us and any other papers to which you are entitled. We will retain our working papers. We cannot undertake to retain files for any specific period of time, but will generally endeavour to keep all files for a minimum of six years, after which time we reserve the right to dispose of them. If we are required to produce the papers, by you or others, then we reserve the right to make a small charge to cover our costs.
