Hi,
I'm not sure I'm posting this question in the right forum, so please point me in the right direction if not.
We are currently dealing with a solicitor acting for their client. We recently discovered we know two members of their staff, one is a very close friend of the family (is in fact the godmother of our children) and the second member of staff shares the same circle of friends as us and is connected to both us and their client.
The office is very small so I imagine conversations can be overheard, documents/emails can be seen on others desks and screens. We know for a fact that one of them works in exactly the same department as the solicitor dealing with our case. There has been a case in the past where the solicitor took leave and the case was passed onto another member of staff in the office. We are obviously very concerned about a potential breach of confidentiality (for all we know, a breach may have already occurred).
When I contacted the solicitor to air my concerns, she said she could not see a problem and did not want to discuss the matter of a potential confidentiality breach any further and her client is in agreement.
Can anybody give any advice on where we stand?
Thank you.
