Accessibility and Additional Support

We understand that some clients may need additional support when accessing legal services or participating in legal proceedings.

Where possible, we will consider reasonable adjustments and practical support for clients who may have accessibility needs, communication difficulties, health conditions, learning difficulties, mental health concerns, anxiety, or other vulnerabilities.

If additional support is required, clients are encouraged to let the firm know as early as possible so suitable arrangements can be considered.

Clear communication

Language Support

Clear communication is essential in legal matters. The firm’s current spoken languages include:

English

Gujarati

Romanian

Turkish

Polish

Where required, interpreters or translators can be arranged to help ensure that clients understand the advice being given and can participate properly in their matter.

Vulnerable Clients

Michael Carroll & Co has experience supporting clients who may be vulnerable or require additional assistance, including young people, clients with communication needs, clients with mental health concerns, and those who may find legal proceedings particularly difficult.

The firm can consider whether additional arrangements, adjustments, support professionals, intermediaries, or expert input may be appropriate depending on the circumstances of the case.

Professional Standards

As a regulated law firm, Michael Carroll & Co is committed to meeting its professional obligations and maintaining high standards of client care, confidentiality, fairness, and respect.

Equality and diversity are part of that commitment.
