The SRA has intervened in PKA Legal Limited to protect the interests of clients
The Solicitors Regulation Authority has intervened into PKA Legal Limited, following the firm’s entry into administration.
The intervention decision was taken on 30 January 2026 and published on the same day. PKA Legal Limited, a recognised body authorised by the SRA, was operating from 95 Spencer Street, Birmingham, B18 6DA, at the time of the intervention.
According to the published regulatory outcome, the intervention applies to the remainder of the firm following the commencement of administration proceedings. The decision was made directly by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
The SRA confirmed that the intervention was necessary in order to protect the interests of clients or former clients. The statutory basis for the action is paragraph 32(1)(e) of Schedule 2 to the Administration of Justice Act 1985, which allows the regulator to step in where client interests require safeguarding.
No further details were provided in the published decision about the circumstances leading to the firm’s administration or the specific risks identified to client interests. The regulator did not disclose the number of clients affected or the nature of the work undertaken by the firm prior to the intervention.
Interventions are among the most serious regulatory actions available to the SRA and typically result in the regulator taking control of client files and monies. The purpose of such action is to ensure that client matters are protected and can be transferred or concluded appropriately where a firm is no longer able to operate safely.
PKA Legal Limited was listed on the SRA register as a recognised body under firm ID 652185 at the time the decision was taken. The intervention marks the formal closure of the firm from a regulatory perspective.
The SRA publishes intervention decisions to ensure transparency and to inform clients, former clients and other stakeholders that regulatory action has been taken. Clients affected by an intervention are usually contacted directly with information about how their files and any held funds will be managed.
The decision to intervene into PKA Legal Limited follows a number of recent regulatory closures involving firms that have entered administration, reflecting the SRA’s statutory duty to act where client protection may be at risk.
No additional regulatory outcomes or disciplinary findings were published alongside the intervention decision.
