Sayers Solicitors failed to submit information requested by the SRA despite being given time to remedy the breach
Sayers Solicitors LLP has been fined £1,500 after failing to provide the Solicitors Regulation Authority with data about its anti-money laundering and sanctions requirements.
The firm, a recognised body based at 242 High Road, Harrow Weald, Harrow, was also ordered to pay £150 in costs. The outcome was reached by SRA decision, dated 22 June 2026 and published on 23 June 2026.
The SRA said it had requested data from the firm in relation to its anti-money laundering and sanctions obligations. Firms are required to respond promptly to the regulator and provide full and accurate information following a request or requirement.
According to the decision, Sayers Solicitors failed to submit the requested AML and sanctions data after being asked to do so. The regulator found that this breached paragraph 3.3(a) of the SRA Code of Conduct for Firms.
The latest sanction followed an earlier SRA decision dated 17 April 2026, when the firm was directed to pay a fixed financial penalty of £750 and costs of £150 for the same failure to provide AML and sanctions data. According to the regulator, the firm did not remedy the breach despite that earlier enforcement action.
The SRA said the firm failed to remedy the breach after being given notice and reasonable time to do so. It also continued to breach the requirement after the regulator had directed it to pay an earlier fixed financial penalty of £750.
