1. About us
This website at https://halloranpike.co.uk (Website) is operated by Halloran Pike Solicitors (we, us, our). We are a solicitors' practice authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in accordance with the Legal Services Act 2007.

2. Acceptance of terms
By using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Business. If you do not accept these Terms of Business, you must not use the Website. These Terms of Business should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
3. Information on this website is general only
3.1 General information only. The Website contains general information and material that may be of interest. Nothing on the Website constitutes legal advice and it is not intended to be a substitute for advice specific to your circumstances. The law in England and Wales changes, and the information on the Website may not always reflect the most recent position.
3.2 No reliance. You should not rely on the information or material on the Website without first obtaining professional advice. We do not accept responsibility for any loss suffered as a result of reliance on the accuracy or currency of information on the Website.
4. No solicitor-client relationship
4.1 No engagement. Use of the Website does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and us. A solicitor-client relationship is established only when we have agreed in writing to act for you on a specific matter, have confirmed there is no conflict of interest, and you have signed our client care letter and costs agreement.
4.2 Enquiries are not instructions. Sending an enquiry through the Website (including through any contact form or email link) does not constitute instructions to us and does not by itself give rise to any obligation on our part to act for you. We will confirm in writing whether we are willing and able to act, and on what terms.
4.3 Confidentiality before engagement. Communications sent through the Website before a formal solicitor-client relationship has been established are not protected by legal professional privilege. Please do not send sensitive or confidential information through the Website until we have confirmed in writing that we are willing and able to act for you and that there is no conflict.
4.4 Jurisdiction. Our solicitors are admitted to practise in England and Wales. The Website is intended primarily for clients based in England and Wales. The fact that the Website is accessible from other jurisdictions does not mean that we are qualified or willing to advise on the law of those jurisdictions.
