We are pleased to inform our clients that we are well placed to continue to provide first class legal services while restricting access to our central London premises because of the current health emergency and government regulations.
We have access to all the major software platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business, LifeSize and Zoom, whether for court hearings, joint settlement meetings, mediations or conferences with clients.
Members have already successfully conducted a number of remote hearings before several levels of the judiciary, including full appeals before the Court of Appeal.
We are committed not only to providing the highest quality of service but also to doing all we can to enable our clients to participate as fully as before the crisis arose.
For further details please call 020 7242 3555 or contact the relevant clerking team on civilclerks@7br.co.uk, crimeclerks@7br.co.uk or familyclerks@7br.co.uk.
