Do I need to travel to Carlisle to instruct you?

No. All London consultations are conducted remotely by phone or video call. Documents can be exchanged securely by email or through our client portal.

My adviser was based in Mayfair — does that matter?

Not for jurisdiction. What matters is whether the advising firm is or was FCA-regulated. If so, the FOS and FSCS routes are available regardless of the firm's postcode.

Can you handle APP fraud claims from London?

Yes. Under the PSR's mandatory reimbursement rules (October 2024), banks must reimburse most authorised payment fraud victims up to £85,000. If your bank refused, we can challenge that decision.

Financial Mis-Selling Solicitors in London

Financial mis-selling in London — a concentrated problem

London has the highest concentration of financial advisers, discretionary wealth managers, and SIPP operators in the UK — and, correspondingly, the highest volume of financial mis-selling complaints. The FCA's register shows thousands of regulated firms operating across the City of London, Canary Wharf, Mayfair, and the wider Greater London area.

Wealth management and portfolio mis-selling

London clients frequently contact us about discretionary portfolio management — particularly by City private banks and boutique investment houses that placed clients into high-risk or esoteric investments without proper suitability assessment. These firms have generated a significant number of FOS complaints over the past decade.

APP fraud and DB pension transfers

We have seen a sharp rise in APP fraud claims from London clients, reflecting the city's disproportionate share of authorised push payment scams. Separately, many London DB pension scheme members were persuaded to transfer out of final salary schemes by London IFAs in the 2015–2020 window when transfer values were at record highs. If your transfer was arranged by a London firm and proved unsuitable, the FCA's PS22/13 redress scheme may apply.
