No legal, tax, accounting or financial advice
We are neither a law firm nor a regulated entity.
We are not a law firm and aren’t regulated as such. Law firms in England and Wales are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (“SRA”) and it’s important that you understand that we are not regulated or authorised by the SRA. This means we can’t provide services that are “reserved” to solicitors (or in some cases other authorised, regulated persons like barristers or licensed conveyancers), such as conducting litigation, conveyancing, probate activities, notarising or the administration of oaths. Our site and related services only relate to non-contentious commercial matters and we don’t carry out any of the activities that can only be provided by regulated solicitors and law firms.
There are certain key differences in the regulatory protections that are available to you when you deal with a non-SRA regulated entity and it’s important that you understand that:
- you won’t be able to complain to the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority or Legal Ombudsman in respect of the services provided to you by our site;
- you won’t be able to apply for a grant to be made out of the Solicitors’ Compensation Fund managed by the Law Society;
- we aren’t required to take out compulsory professional indemnity insurance and aren’t subject to the SRA Minimum Terms and Conditions of Professional Indemnity Insurance; and
- our services aren’t covered by legal professional privilege, meaning that any communications between you and us could be produced as evidence in court proceedings if ordered by a court or other authority.
We don’t provide legal, tax, accounting or financial advice.
As you navigate through our site you will be guided by our pool of resources, articles and ‘hints’ that help you throughout your legal journey. They are not intended to amount to legal, tax, accounting or financial advice on which you should rely. If at any point you are still uncertain about your selection, you should obtain professional or specialist advice from independent legal, tax, accounting or financial advisors before taking or refraining from any action on the basis of those resources, articles or hints.
Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our site, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our site is accurate, complete or up to date.
