SRA – make sure you instruct an SRA registered firm

IMPORTANT:

If you are considering instructing a legal firm then please make sure that the company is registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

It has recently come to our attention that a UK company, offering equine law services to the public, is not currently registered with the 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.
