About Lawgic LLP

Lawgic LLP is a Limited Liability Partnerhip registered with company number OC442046 in England and Wales. All references to “us”, "our", "we", “the firm” and the like should be read as referring to Lawgic LLP.

We use the word “partner” and/or “principal” to refer to a person who has a share of the management control of Lawgic LLP.

Our registered offices are situated at 25 Coxmount Road, London SE7 8AD.

We are not registered for Value Added Tax in the United Kingdom.

We are not authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and all amending legislation.

The firm acts as a legal researcher, providing secretarial services; it is not part of our role to give advice on the merits of investment transactions. Any investment decision is for our clients to make and no communication by the firm should be treated as an invitation or inducement to our clients to engage in investment activity.

Services

At the outset we will confirm to you in writing your instructions to us, any advice we have given, what action will be taken, when you are next likely to hear from us, what you must do, what information we need from you, the best information we can provide on costs and how these will be met.

During the matter we will keep you informed of progress, advise you on any delays and explain the effect of any important documents. We will also provide you with any documents that we receive and explain any staff changes that affect your matter.

At the conclusion of your case we will write to you confirming that the matter has been concluded, explaining any continuing consequences and account to you for all monies due to you.

Where you require us to send documents on disc or by electronic mail we do not accept any liability whatsoever for damage caused by computer viruses or as a result of unauthorised access to the documents by third parties.

Our charges are required by law to reflect a number of factors including the time involved, the special skills required, the urgency and importance of the matter (or otherwise) and the qualifications and experience of the people involved. We record time at meetings and on the preparation of papers, routine correspondence and telephone calls. Longer letters and telephone calls are charged appropriately.

Charges and Expenses

We may provide additional terms and conditions in an engagement letter, a service agreement or other form of a binding document. However, general terms listed herein give you an overview of the conditions we apply when working on your project.

If your instructions mean that we have work outside normal office hours, we reserve the right to increase the level of the hourly rate. You will be notified in writing of any increase rates.

The rates may be higher if, for example, the matter becomes more complex than expected; we will notify you of this.

If you wish, you may set a limit on the costs and expenses that we may incur. This will mean that you must pay all those costs and disbursements incurred up to the agreed limit without our needing to refer back to you. We will not exceed the agreed limit without your consent and will inform you as soon as it appears that the limit is about to be reached.

It is the practice of the firm to require a retainer or an advance payment for the services to be provided in the future. The retainer is used to cover any unpaid bills, so you must continue paying any and all invoices received from us. However, should you fail to pay an up to date invoice, we may utilise the retainer to cover such missed payments. This does not free you from an obligation to cover any unpaid amounts, which would incur interest.

We will inform you if any unforeseen extra work becomes necessary. We will also inform you in writing of the estimated costs of any extra work before incurring extra costs. We will attempt to agree an amended charge with you. If we cannot reach agreement we will do no further work and charge you on an hourly basis for the work done to date.

Accounts should be settled within 30 days, unless you have made prior arrangements to pay us by instalments. Interest will be charged on bills that are not paid within that time at the statutory court interest rate (currently 8%).

If for any reason this firm does not complete the work, we will charge you for the work done and expenses incurred and paid.

Identity

In the case of new clients who are unknown to us our practice rules require that we verify your identity by production of your passport or two of the following documents: 

• A cheque guarantee card, credit card (bearing MasterCard or Visa logo), American Express or Diners Club card, debit or multi-function card (bearing Switch or Delta logo) issued in the United Kingdom with an original account statement less than three months old; or

• A firearm and shotgun certificate; or

• A receipted utility bill less than three months old; or

• A council tax bill less than three months old; or

• A council rent book showing the rent paid for the last three months; or

• A mortgage statement from a lender for the mortgage accounting year just ended
