ClaimCheckUK does not produce composite scores or rankings. All displayed data is sourced from public records. No firm pays to be listed or to improve its presentation.
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.
Retrieved via the Google Places API. Displays overall rating (0-5) and total review count. Note: Google ratings shown are from previous verified data pull (April 2026). Google Places API refresh is scheduled alongside the next full data update.
Published rulings from the Advertising Standards Authority (asa.org.uk) searched by firm name. Upheld rulings are displayed in full on each firm and connector profile. The ASA self-initiates investigations of its own volition as well as responding to complaints.
SRA register checked via sra.org.uk/consumers/register. FCA register for CMCs checked via register.fca.org.uk. Claim connectors are not SRA regulated — SRA column for connectors shows FCA and other regulatory status.
Selections from Legal 500, Chambers and Partners, Law Society Gazette, Legal Futures, SRA publications, Legal Ombudsman reports, and ASA rulings. ClaimCheckUK editorial observations are labelled as such.
Sourced from the Legal Ombudsman published decision dataset (CSV). Current data covers 1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025. The LeO has published updated data for April 2025 – March 2026; firm-level numbers will be updated on next scheduled refresh. The upheld rate is the material quality signal — absolute complaint volume reflects firm size.
Retrieved via the Companies House API. Late filings are a documented early warning indicator for financial distress (cf. SSB Law, Pure Legal, Pogust Goodhead).
Auto-generated where SRA status is not Clean; Legal Ombudsman upheld rate exceeds 40%; Companies House status is not Active or filing is non-compliant; or a data note has been manually attached.
UK-specific verified solicitor review platform (reviewsolicitors.co.uk). Reviews are matched to actual client transactions, making them more rigorous than general review platforms.

Available for 3 of 32 firms: Slater and Gordon UK (3.0), Irwin Mitchell (3.6), Fletchers (4.4). Roll on Friday covers UK law firm employee sentiment but focuses on commercial and City practices outside our firm universe.
