We are saddened to learn that two well-known North East law firms – Samuel Phillips (Newcastle & Sunderland) and Hathaways (Gateshead & Low Fell) – have recently been closed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by these closures, especially given the time of year.
We understand how unsettling it can be to suddenly lose your legal representative, particularly if you have an ongoing case or important deadlines approaching.
If you’ve been impacted and need guidance, please know you’re not alone. Our team is available to answer questions, explain your options, and help ensure your matter continues without unnecessary delay.
Email: enquiries@dma-law.co.uk
We have offices close to all affected areas and walk-ins are welcome Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm.
