What is the scam?

The SRA has seen a website at 'https://mortimerscross.co.uk/' which is operating and falsely claiming to be a law firm called 'Mortimers Cross Legal LLP and Mortimers Cross North LLP'. The website also falsely displays the SRA digital badge.

The SRA does not authorise or regulate a firm of solicitors called 'Mortimers Cross Legal LLP or Mortimers Cross North LLP'.

Any business or transactions through the website at 'https://mortimerscross.co.uk/' is not undertaken by an individual or firm of solicitors authorised and regulated by the SRA.

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
