The aim of this guide is to help you improve the overall service you provide to your customers. By sharing best practice with you, we hope you will be able to reduce the number of complaints that are escalated to the Legal Ombudsman and improve service standards across the profession.

Every year we help resolve thousands of complaints about the legal service from consumers who are unhappy with their legal service provider.

Section 117 of the Legal Services Act requires the Legal Ombudsman to “have regard to such generally accepted principles of good corporate governance as it is reasonable to regard as applicable to it”. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how the OLC is discharging this obligation under the Act.
