Philip Bridger – SRA Intervention

Friday 14th June 2024

Intervention into Philip Bridger

On 31 May 2024 the Solicitors Regulation Authority (‘SRA’) intervened into the practice of Philip Bridger. As a result of the intervention Mr Bridger’s practising certificate is suspended and he can not continue to act as a solicitor. Mr Bridger can apply to the SRA to have his practising certificate reinstated. If his practising certificate is reinstated, this decision will be published on the SRA’s website.

We are aware that Mr Bridger is currently working at a business called PB Law from offices where Bridger & Co Solicitors previously practised. PB Law is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Mr Bridger cannot practise as a solicitor.

What does this mean?

If Mr Bridger was acting for you in his personal capacity, you will need to instruct a new solicitor.

If you  need help finding a new solicitor you can  search for a new solicitor on the Law Society’s Find a Solicitor site, or you can call the Law Society on 020 7320 5650 Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00.

The intervention into Mr Bridger’s personal practice does not affect the practice of Bridger & Co (in liquidation).

What has happened to Bridger & Co Limited?

On 15 December 2023, Siann Huntley of Leonard Curtis was appointed as liquidator of Bridger & Co Limited (‘Bridger & Co’) Any queries regarding the liquidation into Bridger & Co should be directed to Leonard Curtis at recovery@leonardcurtis.co.uk or 01179 294900.

The SRA’s intervention into the practice of Philip Bridger is separate from and does not affect the liquidation.

How do I get documents that were held by Bridger & Co?

Documents previously held by Bridger & Co are now in the control of Leonard Curtis. Should you wish to contact Leonard Curtis regarding your documents they can be contacted at recovery@leonardcurtis.co.uk

Bridger & Co were holding money for me. What should I do?

If you believe Bridger & Co were holding money for you at the time they went into liquidation, you should contact Leonard Curtis, if you have not already done so.

Ymyriad ym mhractis Philip Bridger

Ar 31 Mai 2024 ymyrrodd yr Awdurdod Rheoleiddio Cyfreithwyr (‘SRA’) ym mhractis Philip Bridger. O ganlyniad i’r ymyriad mae tystysgrif ymarfer Mr Bridger wedi’i hatal ac nid yw’n cael parhau i weithredu fel cyfreithiwr. Caiff Mr Bridger wneud cais i’r SRA am adfer ei dystysgrif ymarfer. Os caiff ei dystysgrif ymarfer ei hadfer, bydd y penderfyniad hwnnw yn cael ei gyhoeddi ar wefan yr SRA.

Beth yw ystyr hyn?

Os oedd Mr Bridger yn gweithredu ar eich rhan chi yn rhinwedd ei swyddogaeth bersonol, fe fydd angen ichi gyfarwyddo cyfreithiwr newydd.

Os oes arnoch chi angen help i ddod o hyd i gyfreithiwr newydd gallwch chwilio am gyfreithiwr newydd ar wefan Find a Solicitor Cymdeithas y Cyfreithwyr, neu gallwch ffonio Cymdeithas y Cyfreithwyr ar 020 7320 5650 o ddydd Llun i ddydd Gwener rhwng 09:00 a 17:00.

Nid yw’r ymyriad ym mhractis personol Mr Bridger yn effeithio ar bractis Bridger & Co (mewn datodiad).

Bridger & Co

Beth ddigwyddodd i Bridger & Co Limited?

Ar 15 Rhagfyr 2023, penodwyd Siann Huntley o Leonard Curtis yn ddatodwr ar gyfer Bridger & Co Limited (‘Bridger & Co’) Dylai unrhyw ymholiadau ynghylch datod Bridger & Co gael eu cyfeirio at Leonard Curtis yn recovery@leonardcurtis.co.uk.

Mae ymyriad yr SRA ym mhractis Philip Bridger yn wahanol i’r datodiad ac nid yw’n effeithio ar y datodiad.

Sut mae cael dogfennau oedd yn cael eu dal gan Bridger & Co?

Mae dogfennau a oedd yn cael eu dal yn flaenorol gan Bridger & Co bellach o dan reolaeth Leonard Curtis. Os hoffech gysylltu â Leonard Curtis ynglŷn â’ch dogfennau, gellir cysylltu â nhw drwy recovery@leonardcurtis.co.uk

Roedd Bridger & Co yn dal arian ar fy rhan i. Beth ddylwn i ei wneud?

Os ydych chi’n credu bod Bridger & Co yn dal arian ar eich rhan ar yr adeg y cawsant eu datod, dylech gysylltu â Leonard Curtis, os nad ydych chi wedi gwneud hynny’n barod.
