Lawyer Peril Du Jour: Phony Law Firm Websites - SBM Blog

139908744smAs if the legal profession didn't have enough to worry about, what with digital discovery, commoditization, immunity creep, law school debt, incivility, boundaryless practice, and online self-help, just to name a few, now there's law firm identity theft.?

England, as usual, is leading the way.

From the Solicitors Regulation Authority:

There are serious and continuing risks to the public arising from the activities of criminals and criminal gangs who are setting up bogus law firms or bogus branch offices of genuine law firms with the intention, usually, of stealing mortgage loans. This warning notice?provides information about the threat and advice about how to protect yourself and others from it.
