It is very rare for a law firm to go out of business.

In fact, it is so rare that when a firm does cease trading it is likely to make the news.

If it does happen to you at a point when you have a claim registered with the firm, then it is important not to panic. The Law Society of Scotland, which regulates all law firms in Scotland, has put systems in place to protect clients in this situation. This means that the Law Society should be your first port of call – it will know exactly what is happening with the firm, and will be able to let you know who to contact to find out more.

It is also likely to be essential that you find a new solicitor.

Thompson Solicitors Review

Professional from start to finish. Referred me to the appropriate professionals to inform my Case. Provided advice to enable me to settle my Case. Advice seemed fair and reasonable. I was not put under any pressure at any time.
