Website Disclaimer

The information available on this website is provided by Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams (HOCW) for general information purposes only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for obtaining advice that is specific to your circumstances.

Laws, legal processes and the application of legal principles can change over time and may differ depending on the facts of an individual matter. While we take reasonable care to ensure that the information on this website is current and accurate, we do not guarantee that it is complete, up to date or suitable for every situation. The content may not reflect recent legal developments or the particular laws that apply to you.

You should seek independent legal advice from a qualified lawyer before making decisions, taking action or refraining from taking action in relation to a legal issue. A lawyer can consider your individual circumstances, explain your rights and obligations, and advise on the options available to you.

We welcome enquiries by telephone, email, post and through our online contact forms. However, contacting us, submitting an enquiry or providing information through this website does not create a lawyer-client relationship. A lawyer-client relationship is only established once we have confirmed in writing that we are able to act for you, and the terms of our engagement have been agreed.

Please do not send confidential, sensitive or time-critical information through this website, by email or through an online form until HOCW has confirmed that we can act for you. We may be unable to accept instructions where a conflict of interest arises, including where we already act for another party involved in your matter.

If your legal matter is urgent or subject to a deadline, you should obtain legal advice promptly and should not rely solely on information published on this website.
