These are the headline terms on which Farani Taylor Solicitors provide legal services under the Law by Sajj brand. When we’re formally instructed on a matter, we issue a full client care letter and retainer that sets out the detail, and those documents take precedence over this page.
Who we are
Sajjad Hussain is a solicitor of the Senior Courts of England & Wales practising at Farani Taylor Solicitors in London. The firm is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Our regulatory details are available on the SRA register.
Our fees
Wherever possible we work on fixed feesso you know exactly where you stand. Where fixed fees aren’t appropriate we charge at our hourly rates, which we’ll confirm in writing before we start. VAT is charged at the prevailing UK rate. Disbursements (third-party costs such as court fees, Land Registry fees, search fees, UKVI application fees) are passed on at cost.
Our client care letter will set out any fee caps, staged payments and circumstances in which our fees could change — we don’t believe in surprises.
Client money
Any money we hold on your behalf is held in our SRA-regulated client account, separate from the firm’s own money, in accordance with the SRA Accounts Rules.
Identity and anti-money laundering
We are required by law to verify the identity and source of funds of every client. We carry out electronic verification and may request additional documents. We cannot act until these checks are completed to our satisfaction.
Confidentiality and data protection
Everything you share with us is confidential and protected by legal professional privilege, except where we are obliged to disclose it by law (for example, under anti-money laundering legislation). We handle your personal data in line with UK GDPR and our privacy notice.
Limitation of liability
Our liability for any one matter is limited to the minimum level required by the SRA for solicitors’ professional indemnity insurance, unless we agree a different limit in writing in the client care letter. We do not exclude or limit liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or anything else which cannot be excluded by law.
Cancellation rights
If you instruct us as a consumer and our agreement is formed off-premises or at a distance, you may have the right to cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Full details will be in your client care letter.
Complaints
If you’re unhappy with any aspect of our service, please follow our complaints procedure. You may have the right to refer complaints to the Legal Ombudsman or the SRA.
Governing law
These terms and any retainer we enter into with you are governed by the law of England and Wales and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
