Information for clients of PM Law and Linkfield Law
PM Law and Linkfield Law have all recently ceased trading. As a result, the organisation responsible for regulating law firms in England and Wales, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), has appointed an Intervention Agent to take control of all client files, documents and money. This means that all clients of these firms are now required to find and appoint a new law firm to take over their case as no further work will now be undertaken on any live client files.
Who are Premex?
Premex is a Medical Reporting Organisation. We are instructed by law firms to arrange a medical report for personal injury claims. This expert report is used by law firms to understand your injuries and help progress your case.
Our business has provided medical reports to PM Law and Linkfield Law, for clients whose personal injury claims are currently ongoing. As payment for the cost of these reports remains outstanding, we need to advise all affected clients that it remains the property of Premex until it is paid for and any new law firm will need our agreement to use it.
We therefore want to work with the law firms taking over claims from these firms to ensure that this process is handled properly.
What happens next?
The SRA’s Intervention Agent, Gordons LLP, will be writing to all clients explaining what the closure of PM Law and Linkfield Law means for you. If not you have not already received their correspondence, it should arrive with you shortly.
Although Gordons LLP is a law firm, they are acting only as the appointed Intervention Agent and cannot take on your claim. You therefore 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. However, to try and help make the process as easy as possible for those affected, we have given our permission to First4InjuryClaims, an SRA‑regulated specialist personal injury law firm, 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.
If you would therefore like to speak to First4InjuryClaims, they have set up a dedicated line for former PM Law and Linkfield Law clients:
📞 01484 260230
🕗 Monday–Friday, 8am–5.30pm
📧 PMLaw@first4injuryclaims.com
Their specialist team understands the situation and can discuss how they might help you continue your claim.
If you select another law firm
If you choose a different solicitor, please let us know which firm you have appointed. This helps us update our records and ensure the new firm can discuss your medical report or any outstanding requests with us.
