Penman Sedgwick LLP is a limited liability partnership. Any individual carrying out work on your matter does so on behalf of Penman Sedgwick LLP in their capacity as a Partner, consultant, agent or employee of Penman Sedgwick LLP, and not in any personal capacity. Any action by them, any communication from them, or any advice from them, is taken, sent or given on behalf of Penman Sedgwick LLP.

In particular, the fact that an individual Partner, consultant, agent or employee signs in his or her own name any letter, e-mail or other document in the course of carrying out that work does not mean he or she is assuming any personal legal liability for that letter, e-mail or document.

  • Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint; and
  • No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
  • No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was a cause for complaint
