It is very rare for a law firm to go out of business.

In fact, it is so rare that when a firm does cease trading it is likely to make the news.

If it does happen to you at a point when you have a claim registered with the firm, then it is important not to panic. The Law Society of Scotland, which regulates all law firms in Scotland, has put systems in place to protect clients in this situation. This means that the Law Society should be your first port of call – it will know exactly what is happening with the firm, and will be able to let you know who to contact to find out more.

It is also likely to be essential that you find a new solicitor.

Secured compensation

Suzanne Laing at Thompsons Solicitors worked hard to secure a deserved settlement after I was injured in a car crash. Her communication throughout was superb, and she worked with the utmost professionalism at all times.

Wonderful Service From a Brilliant Solicitor!

Robert Cranston has been dealing with my dog bite claim for the last few years. He has worked tirelessly on my behalf - commissioning medico-legal reports, liaising repeatedly with the Sheriffs, sending many letters to the owner of the dog - which were never answered - and, most of all, his superb communication with myself. He has telephoned me on several occasions prior to this recent settlement of my claim - and sent me numerous in depth emails, updating me on action(s) taken. It must have been very challenging for Robert, as the dog's owner ignored all letters etc. It was a wonderful surprise when Robert telephoned me today, 10th February 2025, to let me know that I was to receive £15,000 for personal injury compensation. Robert is an asset to Thompsons Solicitors, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others. Thank you for everything, Robert. Many thanks and regards. Julie (Whitham)

Lawyers

Very adaptable people, always had my interest in mind and under everything I wanted despite the hard communication from my part as English isn’t my first language. Had many hurdles but they were by my side the whole way there.
