Fraud Warning – Important Notice

It has come to our attention that fraudsters are currently impersonating Simon Burn Solicitors by using a name closely similar to ours, our address and the identity of our Senior Partner to contact members of the public and request payment.


We wish to make it clear that;


  • We will never contact members of the public seeking payment out of the blue;
  • Any legitimate correspondence from us will come from our verified email domain @simonburn.com only;
  • Our SRA registration number is 516917;
  • You can verify our firm’s genuine details at any time on the SRA’s public register at SRA.ORG.UK/Find-a-solicitor;

We have reported this matter to the Solicitors Regulation Authority, Action Fraud and the National Cyber Security Centre.


If you have received any correspondence purporting to be from us that you are unsure about, please contact us directly on:
01242 228444 or simon.burn@simonburn.com before making any payment or providing any personal information.


If you believe you have already been a victim of this fraud, please contact Action Fraud immediately on 0300 123 2040 or at reportfraud.police.uk.

What will it cost?
We often hear complaints about other solicitors and the way in which they charge, especially with litigious matters, where costs can run away if left unmonitored. At Simon Burn Solicitors we take a proactive approach to costs and pride ourselves on keeping within clients’ set budgets. We ensure that;
1.
The actual costs incurred with us depend on what we are asked to do.
2.
We will agree budgets with you in advance before any work is undertaken. This way there are no “nasty surprises”.
3.
Whilst our costs are charged on a time basis we are able to work quickly and efficiently due to our extensive experience and expertise. Further, because the practice is based outside of London we have lower overheads and are able to pass the overhead savings onto you.
