Data retention

Retention policy

We keep personal data only as long as it is needed for the matter it was given for, and the professional obligations that follow.

Enquiry data — the name, company, e-mail and details you submit through the contact form — is retained while we deal with your request and any engagement that follows. Where no engagement follows, it is deleted once the enquiry is closed.

Where we act on a matter, file data is retained for the period our professional and statutory obligations require, after which it is deleted or archived. Specific periods are set in the engagement letter for each matter.

You may ask what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, subject to any obligation that requires us to keep it. Use the address on the contact page.
