Reasons/basis

Justin King Law Ltd is a recognised body whose office is at Hamilton House, 17 Cedar Road, Sutton, SM2 5DA.

The SRA Transparency Rules came into effect on 6 December 2018. They require all firms authorised and regulated by the SRA to display specified information on their websites if they provide certain types of legal services. The purpose of the Transparency Rules is to ensure people have accurate and relevant information about a solicitor or firm when they are considering purchasing legal services. They are intended to help members of the public and small businesses make informed choices, improving competition in the legal market.

Justin King Law Ltd has failed to publish mandatory details about:

• its costs for Probate work
• its complaints procedure and
• how a complaint might be made to the SRA or the Legal Ombudsman

in breach of rules 1.5 and 2.1 of the Transparency Rules.

The firm failed to remedy this breach after being given notice and reasonable time in which to do so.
