Information for Former PM Law, 3M Law and Linkfield Law Clients

If your personal injury claim was being handled by PM Law, 3M Law or Linkfield Law, you may recently have been told that these firms have ceased trading. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has appointed an Intervention Agent to take control of all client files, documents and money. Until you appoint a new law firm, no further work can be carried out on your claim.

About your medical report

Premex is a Medical Reporting Organisation instructed by your previous law firm to arrange a medical report for your claim. This report is used by law firms to understand your injuries and help progress your case.

The report remains Premex’s property until it is paid for. Any new law firm will need our agreement to use it, and we will work with them to ensure this is handled properly.

Correspondence from the SRA

You may already have received a letter from the SRA’s Intervention Agent, Gordons LLP, explaining what the closure of PM Law, 3M Law and Linkfield Law means for you. If not, you should receive this shortly.

Although Gordons LLP is a law firm, they cannot take on your claim. You now need to choose a new solicitor to continue your case.

Choosing a new law firm

You are free to appoint any law firm you prefer. To help make the process easier, we work closely with First4InjuryClaims, an SRAregulated specialist personal injury law firm. We have given them permission to request and use your medical report where appropriate.

First4InjuryClaims is part of the First4Lawyers group, which has been supporting injured clients for many years.

Why has my previous law firm closed?

PM Law, 3M Law and Linkfield Law have ceased trading. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has appointed an Intervention Agent to take control of their client files, documents and money.
What happens to my personal injury claim now?

No further work can be carried out on your claim until you instruct a new law firm to take it over.
What is an SRA Intervention Agent?

It is a law firm appointed by the SRA to step in when a firm closes unexpectedly. They secure client files and money and help ensure clients can move their cases elsewhere.
Why is Premex contacting me?

Premex arranged your medical report on behalf of your previous law firm. This report helps progress your personal injury claim.
Does the medical report belong to me?

Not yet. The report remains Premex’s property until it is paid for. Your new solicitor will contact us so we can deal with the report appropriately.
Do I have to use First4InjuryClaims?

No. You are free to choose any law firm you prefer. First4InjuryClaims is simply a firm we already work with and have authorised to request your medical report.
What if I choose a different solicitor?

Just let us know their details. We will update our records and work with them regarding your medical report or any outstanding requests.
Will I have to pay for a new medical report?

That depends on the agreement between you and your new solicitor. Some firms can use the existing report (with our permission) once payment arrangements are in place.
Who should I contact if I have questions?

You can contact us on 01204 326165 and we will assist you.

You can also reach First4InjuryClaims on 01484 260230 or PMLaw@first4injuryclaims.com if you wish to speak to them about taking over your claim.
