Company Notice

On the 31st of January 2022, John W Davies Solicitors are no longer authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and therefore are no longer permitted to carry out reserved legal activities after this date.  

The decision to close the practice has come because of several factors,  the increase in running costs, particularly the professional indemnity insurance premium which has increased significantly and the ripple effect of COVID-19.

We would like to apologise to our clients, old and new, for the inconvenience this may cause but please rest assured we are still managing certain administrative tasks after the 31st January to meet our professional obligations to our clients and stakeholders.  Our closure team are still working behind the scenes for the next six months to ensure there is a controlled closure of the firm.
