SRA intervention into PM Law Ltd

12 Feb 2026 12:54 PM

We were alerted to the unexpected closure of PM Law Ltd and associated firms on Monday 2 February.

We understand that this is concerning and distressing news for all involved, not least those that had on-going matters with the firm.

We launched an immediate investigation into PM Law on 2 February and contacted the firm to make sure client interests are protected properly. As a result of our initial investigation, we took the decision on 4 February to intervene into the group of firms (a full list can be found below).

As of 11 February, the steps we have quickly taken include:

Sarah Rapson, Chief Executive of the Solicitors Regulation Authority, said: 'We have acted quickly and decisively to protect the interests of clients.

'The sudden announcement from PM Law on Monday 2 February that they had closed is troubling news and I fully sympathise with the clients of the firm. Many of those involved are buying and selling a house or dealing with personal injury claims. These matters can be stressful enough without the added complication of your solicitor's firm closing during the process.

'While we cannot disclose information about an on-going investigation, we are working quickly to gather all the relevant information and provide answers to those that have raised important questions about their on-going matters with the firm.

'Finally, this is a difficult time for the employees of the firm who have now sadly lost their jobs. Support is available from a range of organisations for those that need it.'

We have also provided initial information for clients on our website, which we will continue to update with more information as soon as we have it.

In the meantime, further information about interventions is available on our Interventions pages.
