The information gap

Law firms know their complaint rates, regulatory history, and review practices. You don't. SSB Law collapsed in 2024 leaving 25,000 clients abandoned. Pure Legal left 28,000 exposed in 2021. The SRA was censured both times for failing to act on visible warning signs.

What we check

For every firm: live SRA authorisation status, Legal Ombudsman upheld rates, Companies House financial health, Trustpilot and Google ratings, Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal decisions, and accreditations, and direct source links to SRA, Legal Ombudsman, and Companies House.

No commercial interests

No advertising. No referral fees. No paid placements. No firm can pay to improve or remove its profile. We are funded by none of the firms or platforms we cover. Our data comes from public records only.

Claim Connectors

We also profile the referral platforms and CMCs that sit between you and law firms — checking their ASA advertising rulings, FCA/SRA status, and Trustpilot signals. One platform received an upheld ASA ruling in September 2025.

What you need to know before instructing a law firm

Fees are deducted from your compensation

A 25% + VAT fee on a £5,000 win means you receive £3,500 — not £5,000. At 30% + VAT, you receive £3,200. Always check the fee before signing.

You may not need a solicitor at all

For motor finance and financial mis-selling claims, the Financial Ombudsman Service offers a free route. For flight delays under £520, the Civil Aviation Authority handles claims at no cost.

Firm collapse is a documented risk

SSB Law (25,000 clients), Pure Legal (28,000 clients), and Metamorph Law have all collapsed in recent years. We flag firms with financial warning signs before you commit to a multi-year engagement.
