Overview
- Following Monday’s abrupt closure, the SRA on 4 February intervened into 11 firms across the PM Law group covering 30 trading names.
- John Owen of Gordons has been appointed as the intervention agent to secure documents and client money and to manage affected files.
- Roughly 600 employees were left without notice as offices posted signs citing regulatory matters, with many websites and phone lines unavailable.
- Clients with ongoing matters, notably conveyancing and personal injury cases, are being told to await contact, with time‑critical files prioritised and possible reallocation to other firms.
- An SRA investigation into the disorderly closure is under way, and limited public financial data show the group reported £3.1m in creditors and £6.2m in debtors as of 31 October 2024.
