Warning: Trademark emails misusing the name and SRA ID numbers of Josephine Kenny and Ruby Saggar

8 April 2026

Emails regarding purported intellectual property protection matters have been sent, misusing the name and details of the genuine solicitors, Josephine Kenny and Ruby Saggar.

What is the scam?

Email correspondence has been sent, misusing the name of two genuine solicitors (see below).

The correspondence informs the recipients that a third party has approached them to register the name and logo of the recipient's business, seeking exclusive rights to their company name. The correspondence invites the recipient to secure trademark registration of their company name first and offers to assist with this process.

The emails were sent from the email addresses josephine@legalnotice.bhslaw.org and ruby@legalnotice.bhslaw.org.

The emails include the name 'BHS Law', a link to the website address 'http://bhslaw.org/' and the telephone number +44 7476623402.

Any business or transaction through the above email addresses or telephone number are not undertaken by a firm or solicitor authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates genuine solicitors called Josephine Kenny (SRA number: 625577) and Ruby Saggar (SRA number: 18072).

Josephine Kenny and Ruby Saggar have confirmed that they do not have any connection to the correspondence referred to in the above alert.

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm called BHS Law Ltd (SRA number: 8012423).

The genuine firm is believed to have no connection to the emails referred to in the above alert.

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.
