Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint

and

- No more than one year from the date of act/omission;

or

- No more than one year from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.

In accordance with the Provision of Services Regulations 2009, details of our compulsory professional indemnity insurance are as follows.  Our insurers are Travelers Insurance Company Ltd. They can be contacted at One Creechurch Place, London EC3A 5AF, telephone number 020 3207 6000 and their website is www.travelers.co.uk. Our insurance cover extends to our acts or omissions wherever in the world they occur.

The Firm is not authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, but we are able in certain circumstances to offer a limited range of investment services to clients because we are members of the Law Society and authorised and regulated by the SRA. We can provide these investment services if they are an incidental part of the professional services we have been engaged to provide.  

We have in place anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies and procedures which apply to all of our partners and staff and to those who otherwise work or undertake business on our behalf wherever they are situated. Our policies prohibit their engaging in corrupt activity in any part of the world and require them to report any occasion on which they are invited, or suspect that others have been invited to act corruptly.  They also provide guidance as to gifts and hospitality.  We expect our clients to have in place similar policies and procedures appropriate to their business.

It is increasingly common for cyber-criminals to use intercepted emails to divert funds into their own accounts. We will not change our bank details, so please do not make payment to an alternative bank or bank account even if asked to do so in an email that appears to have been sent by someone at the Firm.

If you receive an email informing you that our bank account details have changed, please contact info@petersmay.com as soon as possible.
