Warning: Website for 'North London Solicitors'

11 March 2025

The website 'www.northlondonsolicitors.com' is operating, which falsely claims to be the website for a law firm.

What is the scam?

The SRA has been informed that a website 'www.northlondonsolicitors.com' is operating claiming to be a law firm called 'Noth London Solicitors'.

The website provides a postal address of 'Tower 42, 25 Old Broad Street,London EC2N 1HN', a telephone number of '+44 20 3289 4225' and email addresses of 'info@northlondonsolicitors.com' and 'clerk@northlondonsolicitors.com'.

A member of the public has been contacted by an individual called 'Frank Imes,Esq' using an email address of 'Frankimes.esq@hotmail.com', claiming to be a 'Snr. Atty at 'North London Solicitors' in relation to a supposed inheritance of an unknown individual with a supposed same surname of the recipient. 

The email provided another telephone number of '+447389670170'.

The SRA does not authorise or regulate a firm called 'Noth London Solicitors' or a solicitor called Frank Imes.

Any business or transactions through the website or the contact details set out above are not undertaken by a solicitor's firm authorised and regulated by the SRA. 

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.
