ENQUIRIES

Inquests

Our inquests work is detailed under the What We Do section. If someone you know has died in this way and you’d like to see if we can help you during this difficult time, please provide details in the form below answering every question. Your message is passed straight to our new enquiries team, who aim to contact you within 3 working days. If you tell us that your case is urgent, we will try to contact you more quickly. Please remember to check your junk folder.

If you are unable to use this form because you have a disability or for another reason, please call our reception team on 020 7407 0007 and ask for the New Enquiries Team for Inquests. A member of our team will complete the form with you on the phone. Please note, we cannot give legal advice as our solicitors only take calls from their clients. We will still aim to get back to you within 3 days.
