The SRA has been informed that emails have been sent purporting to be from a genuine firm of solicitors and enclosing a supposed notification of bank account details for invoice payments.

The emails seen by the SRA have been sent from the email address "accounts.payable@linklatersllp.co.uk" and also copied in the following email addresses "accounts.receivables@linklatersllp.co.uk" and "matt.barrett@linklatersllp.co.uk".

The email also encloses the alleged notification of bank account details, which provides the recipient with the details of a supposed (National Westminster Bank) account for the firm. This email and/or the attached document misuse the name, postal address and website address for a genuine firm of solicitors. The ‘notification of bank account details’ document also provides the telephone number "+44 207 117 2081" and fax number "+44 207 117 2088".

Any business or transactions through an email address ending with "@linklatersllp.co.uk", “telephone number +44 207 117 2081” and fax number “+44 207 117 2088” is not undertaken by an individual authorised or regulated by the SRA.

Emails have been sent to clients misusing the name of a genuine firm (see below).

The SRA has been informed that an email address "accounts@addleshawgoddard-uk.com", has been used to contact a client of the genuine firm.

The email seen by the SRA contained an attachment entitled "ADDLESHAW" and provided supposedly new payment details for the firm. The letter requested the client to send payment to an account held at the NatWest bank.

The email and attachment misused the genuine firm’s address, SRA ID and website. The telephone number "+44 (0)207 117 2081" was also provided.

The attachment contained two signatures. The first signature misused the name of a genuine solicitor but incorrectly identified them as a "Director" and the second signature gave the name of "Peter Wilson" from "Accounts".

The genuine firm has confirmed that it does not employ an individual in its accounts department by the name of Peter Wilson.

Any business or transactions through the above domain, email address and telephone number are not undertaken by a solicitor’s practice or individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.
