A website at 'https://courtneysmith-solicitors.com/' is operating and misusing the name and details of a genuine firm of solicitors.

What is the scam?

The SRA has seen a website at 'https://courtneysmith-solicitors.com/' that is operating and misusing the name and head office address of a genuine firm of solicitors (see details below).

Any business or transaction through the above website, phone number or email address domain is not undertaken by a firm or individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm of solicitors called Courtney Smith Solicitors LLP. The genuine head office address for the firm is 4 Village Way E, Rayners Lane, Pinner, Harrow HA2 7LU. The genuine website for the firm is www.courtneysmithsolicitors.co.uk. Its genuine telephone number is 02088687636 and its genuine email addresses use the domain name @courtneysmithsolicitors.com.

The genuine firm of solicitors have confirmed that they have no genuine connection to the website or other details 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.
