How to complain to your service provider

Data about organisational performance, complaints and ombudsman decisions.

Our job is to help resolve disputes between consumers and legal service providers. We are independent and impartial and base our assessment on the evidence provided. We aim to reach a resolution that is fair and that works for everyone involved. We help consumers to resolve complaints. We also help legal service providers to better understand such complaints, so they don’t happen again.

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

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.
