8 July 2025
A website at 'heritageandlegacysolicitors.com', claiming to be for 'Heritage and Legacy Solicitors Law Firm' and misusing details of solicitors.
What is the scam?
A website at 'https://heritageandlegacysolicitors.com/' is operating, claiming to be for 'Heritage and Legacy Solicitors Law Firm' and falsely claiming to be SRA regulated. The website misuses the SRA number and some website content from a genuine firm of solicitors, and the name and/or details of genuine solicitors (see below).
The website provides an address in Paris, France as a 'Head Office' and an address of 4th floor, 34 - 36 Grays Inn Rd, London WC1X 8HR (UK Office). It also provides telephone numbers of +33 755531494 (Head Office) and +44 207 812 2134 (UK Office) and a contact email address of 'info@heritageandlegacysolicitors.com'.
The SRA does not authorise or regulate a firm of solicitors called 'Heritage and Legacy Solicitors Law Firm'.
Any business or transaction through 'Heritage and Legacy Solicitors Law Firm', the website 'https://heritageandlegacysolicitors.com/' or the telephone number or email address above, is not undertaken by a firm or individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.
Is there a genuine firm or person?
The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm of solicitors called MB Law Limited (SRA ID: 445445), whose genuine website address is 'www.mblawltd.com'. MB Law Limited is not believed to have any genuine connection to 'Heritage and Legacy Solicitors Law Firm' or the website referred to in the above alert.
The SRA authorises and regulates genuine solicitors called Sina Mahouzi, Rubina Chughtai, and Philip Ivinson, whose names and details have been misused in the website referred to in the above alert. Sina Mahouzi, Rubina Chughtai and Philip Ivinson have confirmed to the SRA that they have no connection to 'Heritage and Legacy Solicitors Law Firm' or the website referred to in the above alert.
The SRA also authorises and regulates firms of solicitors called Heritage Solicitors (SRA ID: 533443), Heritage Law (Norwich) Limited (SRA ID: 634269), and Heritage Park Family Law Limited (SRA ID: 8002984). None of these firms are believed to have any connection to the website referred to in the above alert.
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 (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
