Legal and Regulatory Information

This is the personal professional website of Craig MacKenzie. It is owned and operated independently by Craig MacKenzie. It is not owned, operated or maintained by Forbes Solicitors and is not itself a law firm or provider of legal services.

The purpose of the website is to provide general information, commentary and guidance concerning criminal investigations, criminal defence and related subjects. It also provides information about Craig MacKenzie’s professional experience and approach to criminal defence.

This website does not accept legal instructions or enter into solicitor–client retainers.

Craig MacKenzie is a Solicitor Advocate and Partner at Forbes Solicitors. He provides legal services exclusively through Forbes Solicitors and does not accept instructions or provide legal services through this website or in any separate capacity.

All legal enquiries arising from this website are directed to Craig in his professional capacity at Forbes Solicitors through:

Any legal services subsequently provided by Craig will be provided through Forbes Solicitors and will be subject to the firm’s acceptance procedures, terms of business and regulatory arrangements.

Forbes Solicitors is the trading name of Forbes Solicitors LLP, an organisation authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

This website is not owned, operated or maintained by Forbes Solicitors. References and links to Forbes Solicitors identify Craig’s professional role and the regulated firm through which he practises. They must not be understood as indicating that this website is a website, branch or separate practice of Forbes Solicitors.

Further information about Craig’s professional role and Forbes Solicitors can be found on Craig’s official Forbes Solicitors profile.

Sending an email, making a telephone call or making any other enquiry does not create a solicitor–client relationship, amount to acceptance of instructions or oblige Craig or Forbes Solicitors to act.

Forbes Solicitors will only act after the firm has expressly agreed to accept an instruction and completed its applicable procedures. These may include conflict and risk checks, identification and verification requirements, agreement about the scope and cost of the proposed work and the issue of formal engagement documentation.

Unless and until Forbes Solicitors confirms in writing that it has accepted an instruction, no solicitor–client relationship exists and no responsibility is assumed for taking action or protecting a deadline.

A conflict of interest or another professional obligation may prevent Craig or Forbes Solicitors from acting, even where information has already been supplied.

The material published on this website is general information only. It is not legal advice and must not be treated as advice concerning any individual person, business, investigation or proceeding.

Although reasonable care is taken in preparing and reviewing content, the law and applicable procedures can change. The application of the law also depends upon the particular facts and circumstances. No representation is made that any material is complete or suitable for a particular situation.

Reading or using the website does not create a solicitor–client relationship. Visitors should obtain advice from an appropriately qualified lawyer about their particular circumstances before acting or deciding not to act.

Unless otherwise stated, legal material on the website concerns the law of England and Wales as at the review date displayed.

Where Forbes Solicitors accepts an instruction, the legal services are provided by Forbes Solicitors, not by this website. The applicable client-care arrangements, professional indemnity insurance, complaints procedure, Legal Ombudsman rights and other regulatory protections will be those applicable to the instruction accepted by Forbes Solicitors.

Those protections do not arise merely because a person visits this website or submits an initial enquiry.

This website does not collect or store the contents of legal enquiries. There is no enquiry form on this website.

Email contact is made directly through craig.mackenzie@forbessolicitors.co.uk and telephone contact is made directly through 07976 258 258. Any information supplied to that email address or by telephone is received by Craig in his professional capacity at Forbes Solicitors, and Forbes Solicitors’ own privacy arrangements apply to information subsequently processed by the firm. Forbes Solicitors’ current privacy notice is available on the Forbes Solicitors website.

This personal website may separately process limited technical information required for hosting, security and compliant analytics. Non-essential analytics or marketing technologies will not operate before the appropriate cookie choice has been made.
