The website is operated by HD Law Limited (“HD Law”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

Our registered office is:

HD Law Limited is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under SRA number 621194.

We provide legal services across a range of practice areas.

Website information.

The content on this website is provided for general information only. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice relating to your particular circumstances.

Nothing on the website constitutes:

• An offer by HD Law to provide legal services
• Confirmation that we will accept or act in relation to any matter
• Advice about the merits, value, prospects, or likely outcome of any claim
• A guarantee that compensation, damages, costs, or any other remedy will be recovered

Any examples, figures, case studies, previous results, or descriptions of possible outcomes are provided for general information only. Every matter depends on its own facts and circumstances.

You should obtain appropriate legal or professional advice before taking, or deciding not to take, any action based on information contained on the website.

General enquiries and no solicitor-client relationship.

You may use the website to make a general enquiry about HD Law or the legal services we provide.

Submitting an enquiry, sending us an email, or speaking to a member of our team does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and HD Law.

We will only act for you where we have:

• Confirmed in writing that we have agreed to act
• Completed any required conflict, identity, verification, and regulatory checks
• Provided the relevant client care and engagement documents
• Received your acceptance of those documents

We are not required to accept or respond to any enquiry.

Unless we have confirmed in writing that we are acting for you, you should not assume that we are taking any action, protecting your interests, or monitoring any deadline on your behalf.

Any legal services that we agree to provide will be governed by separate engagement documents. Those documents will take priority over these Website Terms of Use in relation to the legal services concerned.

Urgent matters and deadlines.

The website and its general enquiry facility should not be used as the sole means of communicating an urgent or time-sensitive matter.

Legal claims and other legal processes may be subject to strict limitation periods, procedural deadlines, and notification requirements.

Submitting an enquiry to us does not:

• Stop or extend any limitation period
• Commence legal proceedings
• Give notice to another person
• Preserve any legal right or claim
• Make HD Law responsible for a deadline

You should seek immediate independent legal advice where a matter is urgent or a deadline may be approaching.

Confidential and sensitive information.

You should only provide information that is reasonably necessary for us to understand your general enquiry.

You should not submit passwords, bank details, payment card information, original documents, identification documents, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through a general website enquiry unless we have specifically asked you to do so.

Information submitted before we agree to act for you may not be protected by legal professional privilege.

Although we take reasonable measures to protect information sent to us, internet communications cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.
