Solicitors at Humphreys & Co. always aim to approach
legal work in a financially-disciplined way. We offer
competitive rates. Our charging approach is both transparent
and geared to the options open to our clients. Our
solicitors generally charge by reference to time spent but
we can often agree fixed fees for specific work or in some
cases risk-adjusted funding structures.

Professional regulatory representation
| Solicitors: SRA investigation, SRA interventions or SDT proceedings, get our specialist Professional Regulation Unit on your side |
If you are facing SRA investigation, SRA interventions or SDT proceedings, get our specialist Professional Regulation Unit on your side.
Our solicitors act for other solicitors and legal professionals facing hearings before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal or investigations and formal proceedings by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We can guide you through the complex regulatory framework with our meticulous and expert approach.
We will work quickly, efficiently and with our focus on minimising the impact of SRA and SDT investigations, interventions and proceedings upon your reputation or your business. Instruction of professional regulation experts at the earliest possible stage in the regulatory process will increase your chances of a successful resolution of your firm's regulatory and disciplinary issues.

"The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) says it expects to shut down 56% more law firms this year [2008] than it did last. The number of ‘interventions’ could reach 75 by the end of the year, compared with 48 in 2007.
Intervention involves the SRA sending an agent to close a practice on grounds ranging from dishonesty to death. Of the 58 interventions made by the end of October, the most common grounds were dishonesty, followed by substantial/frequent rule breaches."

Some of our client feedback:
|
"I am taking this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation for the excellent legal service you have provided. From the outset I felt really confident by your ability, legal know-how, client care and pragmatic advice. It only took one telephone call for me to dis-instruct my previous solicitor and to instruct you. We went through some desperate throes together but I always felt I had made the right choice. I am particularly amazed at how meticulous you are when it comes to perusing through documentation. We both know that SRA's case was essentially one of circumstantial and document-based and the manner in which you rendered their chief evidence, namely the register, questionable was pleasing. Reading through your instructions to counsel showed me your level of preparation for this case especially the fact that SRA's most, if not all, arguments were well anticipated by you. I am glad to have had the pleasure of working with a lawyer of your calibre and have no hesitation in referring you to others in the future." |
|
"Thank you for the fax confirmations from the SRA. Thank you very much for all your assistance and perseverance against what has been an intolerable and difficult SRA situation. Without your assistance and expertise in this area we would not have had such a successful outcome. I also appreciate the assistance and advice in relation to the removal of conditions on the PC. Without this my application would never have succeeded." |
|
"I take this opportunity to thank you for your utmost professionalism in dealing with these issues promptly and apologise for the roller coaster of emotions that you had to suffer from me. We now only have to deal with the easy SDT matter and look forward to [succeeding] in that case as well." |
|
“I am just dropping you a line to say thank you for the work you have done for us in this matter. I have been truly impressed by the hard work and diligence you showed throughout the representation that you made on behalf of the SRA. The quality of the work you did was excellent. All of us here at (firm) are immensely grateful for the work you did for us.” | |
