  4. Fake law firm calling itself ‘Campbell Brown’

Fake law firm calling itself ‘Campbell Brown’

13th February 2018 | Fraud alerts

What's the scam?

We’re aware of scam involving a fake law firm calling itself ‘Campbell Brown Legal Solicitors’ with a website claiming Campbell Brown is their ‘lead attorney’ and they ‘take cases all over the world’. They claim to have an address at Bath Street in Glasgow.

There is no firm of Scottish solicitors called ‘Campbell Brown’ and no Scottish solicitor called ‘Campbell Brown’.

This alleged scam is being investigated and any necessary action will be taken.

What should you do?

If you are contacted by a ‘Campbell Brown’, do not reply or engage with any offer of legal services. Contact the police if you suspect a scam.

You can use our Find a Solicitor tool to verify that an individual or law firm is in fact entitled to practise in Scotland.

Fraud and scam alerts

We regularly issue alerts to members and the public in response to threats to the profession. We also raise awareness of any potential scams involving fake solicitors or firms.
