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.

Personal injury case

Aisha was a brilliant solicitor for my case. She was very kind and polite, she successfully obtained a settlement and she kept the process as stress free as she could in this type of situation. She listened and alleviated any worries I had. If I could and needed to, I would definitely recommend Aisha to any friends and family.

First and hopefully last experience on an injury claim

From my initial contact with Thompsons through to the satisfactory outcome of my claim I have been nothing but impressed by the clarity and professionalism of Jennifer and the team. Jennifer was able to set my expectations early as to both the process but more importantly the potential protracted timescales in making a claim and anticipated outcomes. it's very evident that a lot of detailed information gathering takes place in the background and detail of the circumstances and the impact of the claimant but also those directly impacted by in this case my incapacity. At every stage Jennifer kept me updated as to progress and the next steps. In summary I cant praise Jennifer and the team more highly.

Michael Mazzucco

I highly recommend Michael at Thomson’s solicitors. He was so supportive and knowledgeable about my claim. He guided me through all the steps of my claim through e-mails and phone calls. His expertise resulted in a successful claim.
