We are acting to support customers with applications submitted by PM Law and its affiliates. The group, which handled conveyancing for home buyers and sellers, was closed suddenly on 2 February 2026 without warning. We recognise the unusual and unfortunate circumstances that many customers now find themselves in.
Land registration can be complex and we strongly recommend that any customers affected by the closure of PM Law and its affiliates appoint new legal representation as soon as possible to progress their applications.
However, in cases where customers do not appear to have new legal representation yet, we will write directly to as many of them as possible about their applications (correspondence would normally go to their legal representative). We cannot guarantee we will be able to reach everyone due to the limited and variable nature of customer contact details provided to us by the firm, but we will do our utmost to reach as many as we can.
If you need help finding a new solicitor, the Law Society’s Find a Solicitor website is a good starting point. Simply enter your postcode to find law firms near to you and then select the relevant work type, such as conveyancing.
You can make an application to reclaim money held by a firm the SRA has intervened in, including PM Law and its affiliates. For more information about how to apply, see SRA /FAQs for consumers of legal services / Solicitors Regulation Authority.
Further information for anyone affected by the closure of PM Law and its affiliates is available from Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) at SRA / Information for clients, employees and creditors of PM Law / Solicitors Regulation Authority
