The SRA has imposed conditions restricting practice, compliance roles and client money access
The Solicitors Regulation Authority has imposed conditions on the practising status of a solicitor, restricting her ability to act in management roles, practise independently, or handle client money.
The decision was made on 8 December 2025 and published on 12 January 2026. The outcome was reached by an SRA decision and recorded as a control of practice measure, resulting in conditions being applied.
The solicitor concerned is Asiya Nasim Kaleem. At the time of the matters giving rise to the outcome, she was associated with Alison Law Solicitors LLP, based at Alison House, 437 to 441 London Road, Sheffield. The firm is listed under SRA ID 573279.
At the date of publication, the regulator recorded that Mrs Kaleem was linked to Versus Law LTD, based at Mercantile House, 10 Lapwing Lane, Didsbury, Manchester. That firm is authorised under SRA ID 519056.
Under the conditions, Mrs Kaleem may not act as a manager or owner of any authorised body, authorised non-SRA firm or legal services body. She is also prohibited from acting as a solicitor in an unregulated organisation.
The restrictions also prevent her from providing reserved or unreserved legal services on her own account under regulation 10.2 of the SRA Authorisation of Individuals Regulations.
In addition, Mrs Kaleem may not act as a compliance officer for legal practice or a compliance officer for finance and administration for any authorised body. The conditions also prohibit her from acting as Head of Legal Practice or Head of Finance and Administration for any authorised body.
The SRA has further restricted her from holding client money or acting as a signatory on any client account. The regulator stated that the terms used in the conditions are defined in the SRA Glossary.
In its published reasons, the SRA said the conditions are necessary in the public interest. It stated that they are reasonable and proportionate when assessed against the purposes set out in regulation 7 of the SRA Authorisation of Individuals Regulations.
The regulator also referenced the regulatory objectives and principles governing regulatory activities contained in section 28 of the Legal Services Act 2007. No further details were provided in the published outcome about the specific issues that led to the imposition of the restrictions.
The decision records that the conditions apply as part of a control of practice outcome. The SRA has not published additional information about any further steps or review timetable within the details provided.
