Answer
A solicitor's firm only has a duty to reply to queries from
current or former clients and certain other bodies.
The Solicitor's Regulation Authority will be able to
assist if you are unable to trace the solicitor through their
former firm. Call the SRA Contact Centre on 0870 606 2555 or e-mail
contactcentre@sra.org.uk with
the details of the individual you are looking for.
