The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has stepped in after uncovering a deceptive website masquerading as a UK law firm named LegalLens, complete with a fictitious “Mike Ross”—a nod to the character from Suits
🔍 What went wrong?
The site presented a host of profiles—13 individuals not authorised or regulated by the SRA
It falsely displayed an SRA-issued digital badge, featured fabricated email addresses, and even included an North American phone number
The SRA has confirmed that LegalLens Law Firm is entirely unregulated—and so is “Mike Ross.”
