Jenner & Block review of PM Law pre-intervention handling

3 September 2026

The SRA intervened into the PM Law group in February 2026. The group had a complex structure and was made up of 11 companies, 26 offices and more than 30 trading names spread across Yorkshire, Cumbria, Berkshire, Derbyshire and London. There is an investigation into a sophisticated fraud involving client funds.   

The SRA commissioned law firm Jenner & Block to conduct an independent review of what the regulator knew about PM Law leading up to the intervention. This is part of the SRA's Serious Event Review process and reflects the organisation's commitment to learning lessons from its activities and to providing greater transparency about how this influences its future work.
