intervention

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.

	Who is involved?		When can I get my documents and money back?
	What is involved?		Why has the intervention happened?
	Where are my documents and money?		How do I instruct another firm of solicitors?
