Warning: 'Al-Zamil' and 'Al Zamil Law Firm Ltd' claiming to be a law firm

11 August 2022

A document has been sent from 'Al-Zamil' or 'Alzamil Law Firm Ltd' in relation to a supposed 'Confidentiality Agreement and International Contract'.

What is the scam?

A document titled 'Confidentiality Agreement and Internal Contract' has been sent to a member of the public from 'Al-Zamil' or 'Alzamil Law Firm Limited’, misusing the name and SRA identification number of a genuine solicitor (see below).

The document also claims that the solicitor is from 'Z Law Limited'.

The document provides a postal address of '5 Bray Ford Square London E1 0SG', a telephone number of '+441953661467' and an email address of 'info@alzamil-lawltd.com'.

The SRA does not authorise and regulate a firm of solicitors called 'Al-Zamil’, 'Alzamil Law firm Ltd' or 'Z Law Ltd’.

Any business or transactions through the above contact details are not undertaken by an individual or firm of solicitors authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine solicitor called Khaled Alzaeem. His SRA ID is 812410.

The genuine Khaled Alzaeem has confirmed that he does not have any connection to the alert above.

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.
