Make sure the firm you instruct is SRA registered
IMPORTANT:
If you are considering instructing a legal firm then please make sure that the company is registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
Check the status of a company, or a person claiming to be a solicitor, through the SRA or the Law Society.
There are benefits and protections for customers of SRA-regulated firms:
- The firm can provide all types of law, including reserved legal activities.
- Everyone working in the firm/company must follow the SRA’s rules.
- The firm/company must have insurance cover.
- If things go wrong and your money is lost, the SRA’s compensation fund may be able to reimburse you.
- They may be able to get your documents and money back if things go wrong.
