Terms of Use

About these terms

These terms apply to every visitor to this website, whether you are a prospective client, an instructing solicitor, a candidate or simply browsing. If you do not agree with them, you should stop using the site. Additional terms may apply to particular features, and those terms will be brought to your attention where relevant.

No professional advice

The content of this website—including articles, case summaries and commentary—is general information only. It is not expert advice or an expert opinion, and it should not be relied upon in any dispute, arbitration or regulatory matter without obtaining specific advice on your circumstances.

Using this site or sending us an enquiry does not create an engagement or any professional relationship. We act for clients only under a letter of engagement signed by both parties, and only after conflict checks have been completed.

Intellectual property

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos and page layouts, is owned by or licensed to Pemberton & Co. and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. You may view, download and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial reference, provided that you keep all copyright and proprietary notices intact.

Acceptable use

You must not use this website in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful, or that interferes with its operation or security. In particular, you must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems, introduce malicious code, or use automated tools to scrape or copy content without our prior written permission.

Third-party links

This website may contain links to websites operated by third parties, such as courts, regulators, publishers and professional bodies. These links are provided for convenience only. We have no control over the content of those sites, do not endorse them, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss arising from your use of them.

Limitation of liability

We take reasonable care to keep this website accurate and available, but we give no warranty that its content is complete, current or free from errors. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our services or the way the website operates. The current version will always be published on this page, and material changes will be indicated by updating the date at the top. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or your use of this website, are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim, including non-contractual disputes or claims.
