Canfields Law Limited was a legal practice that has been subject to an intervention by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) as of November 7, 2025. The firm, which previously operated from London, was closed to protect the interests of its clients, and all client matters, files, and funds are now under the management of the SRA and its appointed intervention agents.
The intervention process involves the secure transfer of client money to the SRA, with efforts underway to return funds to rightful owners. Client files, wills, deeds, and original documents are being retrieved and archived, with procedures in place for clients to reclaim their materials or transfer them to new legal representatives. The firm’s former clients are advised to seek alternative legal representation and may be eligible to apply to the SRA’s Compensation Fund if owed money.
