About Mayo Wynne Baxter
Exceptional service from outstanding people. We’ve been serving the people of Sussex for over 150 years.
Our commitment to you
The law can be complicated so we will guide you through each step of the way and give you only the very best advice for your situation.
We pride ourselves on putting the client first and we’re one of the first law firms to have a service level agreement so that our clients know the minimum standards of service they can expect from us. Find out more about our service level agreement below.
For your convenience, our legal advisers will meet with you at our nearest office to you, or can come to your home or office if appropriate and safe to do so. Alternatively, we can host meetings via video or telephone if that is more convenient.
We will keep you updated on progress at every key milestone of your case.
If you call one of our legal advisers but they are temporarily unavailable, we will get back to you within 4 working hours.
We will acknowledge all emails within 4 working hours. If you email one of our legal advisers and they are unavailable, you will receive an ‘out of office’ message with further contact details.
We will be transparent about our charges from the outset and provide a realistic estimate or price proposal for seeing your matter through to its conclusion.
If applicable we will carry out a regular review of costs incurred to date against the original estimate and advise you, in advance, should this estimate need to be adjusted.
We will ensure that you are fully aware of any possible expenses in dealing with your case as early as possible so that there are no surprises.
If appropriate we will complete your case within a pre-agreed fixed fee. You can find out more about our pricing on certain services here.
We will always fully consider the strengths and weaknesses of your case and advise accordingly, even if that advice is not to proceed.
We will never give advice just to generate more legal work; we will only ever give advice that is in your best interest.
If we cannot take your case for professional reasons or where we feel that another firm is better placed to help you, with your permission, we will recommend another law firm.
We will agree with you the frequency and manner of updates for your case.
In addition to the above, a member of our client service team will also keep in contact with you on a regular basis throughout your transaction, to make sure they are satisfied with the progress of your matter. We are here to assist you and ensure everything proceeds as smoothly as possible. You will have direct contact details for the client service team, who you can contact at any point during your matter. There is no charge to you for our involvement.

How the survey works
The survey is a short 5-minute survey and will ask a series of questions to score us out of 10. It’s only by knowing how you rate our services that we can ensure we continuously improve our client service.
Terms and conditions
The discretionary element is up to a maximum of 20% and within the invoice period, usually within 28 days. If we have got things so bad that this isn’t enough then we would welcome a call to discuss fully. The discretionary element is only on our fees and not disbursements. We cannot offer the Satisfaction Guarantee on certain litigious work types, such as Litigation. This is because of the way that courts award costs for these types of cases.
We will not share any personal information with anyone without your prior permission unless required to do so by law.
We promise to take seriously any concerns you may raise regarding the service you have received.
We will acknowledge any written complaint within 5 working days of receipt and endeavour to provide a substantive response within 21 days from this acknowledgement.
