The SRA report that some criminals try to use law firms, and those connected to them, in their activities to lend credibility to their actions. Law firms in the UK are widely respected and may be used as cover for criminal actions. Although this generally does not target family law professionals, it is wise to be aware.

You can read more about steps you can take to recognise fraudulent law firms and what to do if you have concerns at the SRA website.
