The Solicitors Regulation Authority has the power, granted to it
by Parliament, to close down firms of solicitors in certain
circumstances. This process is called an intervention. Following an
intervention, the Solicitors Regulation Authority takes possession
of all papers and money held by the intervened firm and appoints
another firm of solicitors to act as its agent in order to do this.
Blake Lapthorn is an appointed Solicitors Regulation Authority
agent.
In the following pages we try to answer the questions you may
have if you are a client of an intervened firm.
