Website terms
These terms apply to use of this website. Separate written terms apply if legal work is accepted.
No legal advice or automatic engagement
Website content is general information, not legal advice for a particular case. Sending an enquiry, receiving an automated acknowledgement or discussing possible work does not create a barrister–client relationship. An engagement begins only when suitability and conflicts checks are complete and written terms are agreed.
Deadlines and urgent matters
Do not rely on an enquiry to protect or extend a court, tribunal, appeal, immigration or other legal deadline. You remain responsible for taking urgent protective steps unless and until the agreed written scope expressly says otherwise.
Fees and quotations
Published fees are indicative for the stated scope. The binding fee, VAT treatment, work included, likely timescale and known additional costs are set out in the written quotation or client care letter.
Accuracy and external links
Reasonable care is taken with website information, but law, procedure, regulatory information and third-party pages can change. External links are provided for convenience and do not mean that their content is controlled or endorsed.
Acceptable use
Do not misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, submit unlawful material or use the enquiry form for spam. Do not send identity documents or unnecessary sensitive information unless requested through an agreed secure method.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, website text, design and original materials belong to Chamber of Ahmad or are used with permission. They may be viewed for personal information but not republished or commercially reused without permission.
Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, no responsibility is accepted for loss caused by treating general website information as case-specific advice, failing to protect a deadline before engagement, or relying on an unavailable or third-party service.
Changes and governing law
These terms may be updated on this page. They are governed by the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer rights.
