Warning: Website misusing the name of London Law Collective

5 October 2022

The website ’www.law-collective.com’ falsely claiming to be a website for 'London Law Collective.'

What is the scam?

The website 'www.law-collective.com' is operating, or was recently operating, and falsely purporting to be a website for 'London Law Collective'. The website misuses the name and registered office address of a genuine firm of solicitors (see below).

The website refers to its founder as 'Frank Marrow'; and provides a contact email address of 'support@law-collective.com'.

The SRA does not authorise or regulate any solicitors called Frank Marrow and any business or transaction through the website of 'www.law-collective.com' or the above email address are not undertaken by a firm or solicitor authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA does authorise and regulate a firm called London Law Collective Limited. Its genuine registered office address is 71-75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ and its genuine website is 'www.londonlawcollective.com'. The firm's genuine contact telephone number is 0203 991 6356.

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (eg. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
