The website provides a general contact email address of 'enquiries@mtasolicitors.co.uk' and a second email address of 'manchester@mtasolicitors.co.uk'.

The website purports to have SRA ID: 682194. The website also claims and names several solicitors who work at 'MTA Solicitors LLP'.

Any business or transaction through 'MTA Solicitors LLP' or through the above website, telephone numbers, or any email addresses is not undertaken by a firm or solicitor authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

MTA Solicitors LLP (SRA ID: 565156) was a genuine firm of solicitors authorised by the SRA. This firm ceased trading on 22 December 2022.

There are genuine solicitors who have the same name as one that is referred to on the website, but none of the genuine solicitors are believed to have any connection to the website.

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
