We believe everyone contacting or dealing with CILEx Regulation is entitled to expect excellent customer service. This includes complainants, regulated members and firms, other legal professionals and stakeholders.
We will deliver our commitment by:
- making it easy for you to do business with us
- making sure you get the right advice and information

- doing what we say we will do
- being open and honest about what we can and cannot do
- listening and learning
- having regulatory arrangements and decision-making processes that are fair and consistent
What to do if things go wrong
As an independent regulator, we want to provide the best possible service, but we know that sometimes things can go wrong. If they do, we want you to tell us so we can sort them out as quickly as possible.
Tell us if you have a problem, so we can look into it for you. In line with our complaints policy, we will aim to resolve the issue informally. If we cannot do this, we will review your complaint formally, in line with our complaints process below.
Feedback from complaints will be used to help us improve, to develop the services we provide, and to avoid similar problems happening in the future.
We are also pleased to receive compliments or comments about our service.
Unreasonable behaviour policy
Most of the contact we have with users of our services is positive but very occasionally someone acts in a way we consider unacceptable. We understand that people sometimes get frustrated and we want to hear our service users’ concerns so that we can put things right. We will not, however, accept behaviour which is considered threatening or abusive to staff.
Our policy sets out the actions we will consider taking if someone using our service behaves in a manner we consider to be unacceptable or makes service requests or complaints that we consider vexatious.
