If your solicitor’s firm has closed or become unavailable, you’re not powerless. The priority is protecting deadlines, identifying who holds your file and any client money, and arranging a safe transfer to a new solicitor.
If you need a new solicitor after a firm closure, you can usually transfer your matter mid-way. The key is minimising delay, securing the file safely, and getting clear information on costs before work starts.
When a firm closes, the headlines can feel overwhelming — but client protection comes down to a few practical outcomes: protecting deadlines, locating files, safeguarding client money, and moving to new representation without confusion.
