Terms & Conditions
1. Introduction
BSG Legal is an independent legal-support service operated by Nick Harris. These Terms of Business set out the basis on which services are provided to clients. By instructing BSG Legal, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to these terms.
2. Status and Regulation
BSG Legal provides independent casework, compliance and coordination services. We are not a firm of solicitors and are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). Our work is limited to non-reserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007.
3. Scope of Services
We provide legal-support services including, but not limited to:
• Case preparation and documentation
• Correspondence with third parties and authorities
• Procedural and compliance guidance
• Coordination of regulated legal professionals (solicitors or barristers) where required
• General case management and administrative assistance
We do not conduct litigation or appear as advocates in reserved court proceedings.
4. Fees and Billing
Our standard billing is calculated on an hourly basis in 15-minute increments. Hourly rates are notified at the time of instruction. Disbursements, such as barristers’ fees, expert reports or court costs, are payable by the client in addition to professional time. Invoices are payable upon receipt unless otherwise agreed in writing. Interest may be charged on overdue accounts under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
5. Confidentiality
All client information is treated in strict confidence and will not be disclosed to any third party without consent, except as required by law or professional necessity. We reserve the right to share information confidentially with trusted professionals where collaboration is required to progress a client’s case.
6. Data Protection
BSG Legal complies with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Client data will be processed solely for legitimate business purposes and stored securely. Our Privacy Policy is available on request or via our website.
7. Limitation of Liability
Services are provided on an informational and administrative basis. While care and diligence are exercised in all work, BSG Legal does not accept liability for any indirect or consequential loss. Liability for direct loss arising from proven negligence shall not exceed the total fees paid for the relevant matter.
8. Communications and Recordings
All communications, including telephone calls, may be recorded for training, accuracy and reference purposes. Electronic correspondence is used routinely, and clients accept the inherent security risks of email communications.
9. Termination of Instructions
Either party may terminate an engagement by giving reasonable written notice. Fees for work completed up to the date of termination shall remain payable in full.
10. Complaints and Feedback
We aim to provide a professional and transparent service at all times. Any complaint should be raised promptly with BSG Legal via bsglsw@gmail.com. Complaints will be acknowledged and handled fairly in accordance with our internal policy. If a matter cannot be resolved internally, we may recommend referral to an independent ADR provider.
11. Intellectual Property
All documents, templates and written materials created by BSG Legal remain our intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing. Clients are granted a non-exclusive licence to use such materials solely for their own legal matters.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
