Warning: Enquiries misusing the name of 'Bobby Cheung, Solicitor, Kennedy Law’

22 April 2025

Enquiries have been made to various law firms and companies falsely claiming to be from 'Bobby Cheung, Solicitor, Kennedy Law'.

What is the scam?

The SRA has been informed that enquiries have been made to various law firms and companies misusing the name and email address of a genuine firm of solicitors (see below).

Emails seen by the SRA request advice and assistance on a legal matter from the recipient firm of solicitors.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine solicitor called Bobby Cheung who is an associate solicitor at Kennedys Law LLP.

Kennedys Law LLP can be contacted on the email address contactus@kennedyslaw.com.

Kennedys Law LLP has confirmed that neither it, nor the Bobby Cheung who it employs have any connection to the above matter. 

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.
