Since meeting with senior representatives of HSBC to discuss the bank's conveyancing panel, we are now calling on the profession to follow the Law Society's lead in challenging HSBC's panel policy.
Our lobbying tools are available to download and customise:
- client MP template letter (Word, 27kb) - which solicitors can give to their clients if they wish to raise the issue of solicitor choice with their MP
- client HSBC template letter (Word, 33kb) - which solicitors can give to their clients in situations where the client has chosen not to use HSBC and may wish to alert HSBC to that loss of business
- solicitor MP template letter (Word, 31kb) - for solicitors to send to their MP, which is a supplement to the letter in the campaign pack (PDF)
- solicitor HSBC template letter (Word, 30kb) - for solicitors to use if they wish to write to the chief executive officer of HSBC
- an evidence form (Word, 25kb) - which we would encourage solicitors to give to any clients who are affected by the current HSBC approach – we can then use this information (anonymously) to illustrate the impact (MPs and media prefer to hear actual examples)
