Will Wilkes Wills share my personal data with anyone else?

We may pass your personal data on to third-party service providers contracted to Wilkes Wills in the course of dealing with you. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details securely, and to use them only to fulfil the service they provide you on our behalf.

Wilkes Wills is required to retain information in accordance with the law, such as information needed for income tax and audit purposes.
