Linnutee Konsult OÜ (“Linnutee”) is a private limited company constituted under the laws of Estonia with registry code 17076728. References to a natural person (e.g., “My qualifications” and “I would …”) refer to Ka On Chan, Tony (“Tony”) in his capacity as Linnutee’s consultant and not as a private individual practising in his own name. Nothing on this website shall be taken as indicating that Linnutee or Tony is a sole proprietor or an unlimited liability undertaking.

This website is operated by Linnutee and its materials are intended to promote professional services offered by the company. Tony only maintains a solicitor’s practising certificate in England and Wales, and does not profess competence with respect to the laws of any other jurisdictions including Estonia or Hong Kong. References to the phrase “freelancer” (自由工作者) merely refers to the fact that Tony is not working in a traditional law firm, and shall not be taken to indicate that he is a freelance solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (“SRA”). Linnutee does not carry out any reserved legal activities within the meaning of Legal Services Act 2007 (as varied from time to time) and has not received prior authorisation by the SRA.

If you are a client dissatisfied with any aspect of Linnutee’s service (including your bill), please reach out to Tony at tony.chan@linnutee.co.uk and he would be happy to discuss your concerns. If for any reason we are unable to resolve the problem, you may be able to get help from the Legal Ombudsman which is an independent body with the competence to investigate complaints about legal services. Before going to them, you must have tried to resolve your complaint with us. Also, your complaint must be lodged within 6 months of receiving our final response to your complaint, and in any case, no more than 1 year from the date of the alleged act or omission, or when you should reasonably have known the cause for complaint. Refer to https://www.legalombudsman.org.uk/ for further information. If the complaint is about your bill, you may also apply to the court for an assessment of the bill under Part III of the Solicitors’ Act 1974. Note that we may be entitled to charge interest on unpaid or partially paid bills. If you wish to make a complaint about Tony’s conduct as a solicitor of England and Wales, you may contact the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
