Warning: Correspondence and documents misusing the name of Fox Legal Limited

4 December 2025

A letter, recovery guarantee scheme document and N1 claim form have been sent misusing the name of Fox Legal Limited in relation to recovering cryptocurrency funds.

What is the scam?

The SRA understands that a member of the public has received a letter, recovery guarantee scheme document and N1 claim form from an individual called 'Martin Kralik' purporting to work for Fox Legal Limited.

The letter contains a service agreement which offers to help with the recovery of funds previously lost in cryptocurrency investments. The N1 claim form has also been completed in the name of Fox Legal Limited.

The letter appears to be on headed paper quoting the name 'Martin Kralik' and the address '10 Norwich Street, London, EC4A 1BD'. The document also quotes the genuine firm address of Lipton House, Stanbridge Buildings, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 4QQ and the firm SRA number 646429.

The recovery guarantee scheme document quotes the name of 'Martin Kralik' and also the address '10 Norwich Street, London, EC4A1BD'.

The N1 claim form has been completed using the genuine firm address of Lipton House, Stanbridge Buildings, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 4QQ. The form also has a DX number '11155465', the contact number '+44 7307143828', and the email addresses 'martinkralik@foxlegal.uk' and 'info@foxlegal.uk'.

The documents misuse the name, partial address and SRA ID of a genuine firm of solicitors (see below).

Any business or transaction through the address, email addresses or telephone number referred to above is not undertaken by an individual regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm of solicitors called Fox Legal Limited, whose SRA ID is 646429 and whose address is Lipton House, Stanbridge Buildings, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 4QQ.

Fox Legal Limited has confirmed it has no connection to an individual named 'Martin Kralik' nor to the correspondence 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.
