We do not intentionally send the name, email address, telephone number or message entered into our enquiry form to Google Analytics.
Google Tag Manager helps us manage website measurement tags. We use CookieYes to present cookie choices and communicate your preferences to Google through Consent Mode.

5. International transfers
Some of our service providers may store or process data outside the UK. Where they do, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum.
6. How long we keep it
We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes above. Enquiry data is generally kept for up to two years if you do not become a client. Client and matter records are generally kept for at least six years after the end of the relationship, and longer where the law, our regulators or our insurers require it.
